British Trade Missions

And there are other advantages to using UK Trade & Investment Team South East. You can network with key market contacts in the impressive surroundings of UK Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates, attend major international trade shows or take part in the many British Trade Missions that visit overseas markets each year. We'll be there to assist you every step of the way.

potential markets for your goods

We provide bespoke research into the potential markets for your goods and services. This is carried out by the Commercial Officer on the ground in your target market. You'll be in direct contact with our teams via the web and together we'll work out a plan for breaking into that market. We can help set up meetings with potential customers, agents or distributors. We'll even help you find a reliable interpreter and give you advice on the local business culture.

cost-effective package design

Our Passport to Export initiative brings together many of our services in a cost-effective package designed both for new and less experienced exporters. It provides all the relevant tools to help develop an export strategy and assistance to access any training you might need, be it in administration, documentation or cultural awareness. Passport provides help before a visit to an overseas market and will evaluate the findings on your return.
