TRADE links with France are expected to have become stronger as a result of the island’s first ‘speed dating’ business event.
Aimed at all local business sectors, it was arranged by Commerce and Employment, the Chamber of Commerce and freight company Huelin-Renouf Shipping, which started a freight service to Cherbourg in March.

About 60 representatives from 43 Guernsey businesses came to see them.
