UKTI is the world’s leading trade promotion organisation, providing support, advice and services to UK companies wanting to take their brand to the world.
Because of this work, every day we hear from UK companies on how the work we have done helped their business and is driving sales for them. More and more we are capturing these thoughts on YouTube, through our Twitter feed @UKTIRetail, in success stories on Opentoexport.com and here on the UKTI blog.
This week in the Retail Team, we are delighted to see Fortnum and Mason, House of Fraser, Bremont, The Travel Wrap Company and Christina Sabaiduc all talking about how UKTI’s support is helping them to grow their international sales.
The Great Weeks is a programme of global trade missions for UK companies in the retail, luxury, food and drink and creative industry sectors. The next GREAT Week is in Malaysia on 8-12 September 2014. Find out more at www.greatweeks.co.uk
