Ginho Group is delighted to become the first patron of the new Greater Birmingham Global Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom.

This Global Chamber presents businesses with many opportunities to consolidate and grow their international footprints, making and exporting quality commodities to the world and adding value to other goods and services before they reach their eventual markets overseas or domestically.

As a company we are already seeing the benefits of this connection thanks to an introduction from the Chamber which is speeding up plans to open a facility in Mexico.

Ginho’s European managing director Shaun Gray, who is also president of the Burton & DistrictChamber of Commerce, said:

“Opening a base in Mexico is part of our commitment to follow the global demands of our customers and to continue to offer our supply chain solutions all around the world. Introductions made through the Global Chamber to the Mexican Embassy has helped us speed that process up.

“Up until a few weeks ago, we were still doing a lot of fact-finding but the Mexican Embassy have put us in touch with the right people – not only from a national government point of view but in the two regions where we’d like to establish our business.

“They are now putting plans in place for us to talk to them directly and to visit those regions.”

Ginho already has a huge presence globally – with 1,800 employees in China, Europe, the UK and the US.

As a patron of the Global Chamber, Shaun says the firm hopes to pass on valuable insights to other Midlands firms who are looking to do business internationally.

He said: “The Chamber locally helped us establish our supply chain partners. We now have a lot of connections with the automotive and freight sectors.

“Wherever we can, we’d like to join those dots to bring more of the global supply chain back to the Midlands.

“We travel the world, so in terms of bringing economic data back to organisations at the Chamber, we can give real time feedback on what we’re seeing in North America, Mexico, China, Germany and all the places in Europe where we’re doing business.

“You don’t always get that from looking at reports or parts of the media. We’re willing to share what we know and who we know.”
