We can provide help with consultancy services for starting and planning your export journey.
If you are already working internationally or part of an international group we will review or troubleshoot the current situation and look at the opportunities

We have had considerable success in developing and delivering this type of blended learning, information and work programmes, as we make sure the guidance is supported by practical case-studies.
We are of course open to discussing your specific needs to ensure it aligns with your purpose.

Everyone is time-poor so we focus on providing engaging and relevant learning in bite-size chunks, available for people at their convenience.

Remember, it is for anyone who is keen to start and grow export, whether already involved or not. Accessibility to the material is crucial, so all the material and resources are jargon-free, packed with case-studies and simple action plans
