As new exporters, we needed help finding the right overseas exhibitions for our top-end designer collection. UKFT not only identified the right markets, but also provided us with practical marketing advice so we could make the most of our participation at the shows.

We love entering the UKFT Export Awards – just getting shortlisted brings great publicity. We always have fun at the event where we are treated as 'honoured' guests and mentioned in the speeches. The Awards are a real celebration of successful businesses!
