International Trade
With professional advisers in over 100 International Markets, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) is the Government Department that helps UK-based companies succeed in the global economy and assists overseas companies to bring their high-quality investment to the UK.
This could be helping companies to export for the first time or assisting companies already exporting to develop new markets. The Staffordshire UKTI Team comprises seven International Trade Advisers who work with businesses of all sizes across all sectors. The level of support is always bespoke to each company but can include advice on any aspect of International Trade and providing financial support to develop overseas.
UKTI has staff based in Embassies across the world who can help companies gain a crucial foothold in their market. This can entail setting up a programme of meetings with potential customers in the Embassy itself, advising on best ‘route to market’, legislation, duties and generally helping to avoid any pitfalls.
Working closely with the UKTI Team is the Chamber’s Export Documentation Team which provides a fast, efficient service and is always happy to advise companies on which documentation is required for any given country. In 2012 the team processed Export Documentation with a value in excess of £190m which is a testament to their skill and knowledge. Another facet of this team is that they can facilitate translations, at very competitive rates, on everything from a one page flyer to a full technical manual.
If you want your business to be successful in overseas markets why not call the International Trade Department on 01782 202222
