British High Commissioner Jonathan Sinclair says Tauranga businesses could thrive through a Free Trade Agreement between New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Mr Sinclair, who is Wellington-based at the British High Commission in New Zealand, helps to develop relationships between the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
He was in Tauranga yesterday discussing trade opportunities with Tauranga Mayor Greg Brownless and Tauranga business owners. He also spoke with Tauranga MP Simon Bridges.
He said the main reason for his visit was to discuss Brexit and the business opportunities Tauranga could take advantage of through a New Zealand and United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement.
There's a real thirst for information," Mr Sinclair said.
