“I’m delighted to have been nominated, and looking forward to helping other local businesses on their export journey, where I can, and excited to work with the Export Champion team to amplify the work of the DBT, and enhance UK exports. Intuitive is already exporting it’s software and services to many different countries, and we see this as a key driver of our growth for next year and beyond.”

“Exporting is fundamental to getting our economy back on track. We know that companies that export tend to see greater growth and secure/create more jobs. For example, our software that is developed right here in Leeds is already distributed to the Americas, Asia Pacific and several EMEA countries”

From the Department of Business & Trade: “DBT’s Export Champion programme recognises leading exporters, who are willing to share their expertise and support SMEs that are aspiring to begin trading overseas or enter new international markets – with the Champions experiences providing unique insights and peer-to-peer support that businesses are seeking.”

Do you own or work for a UK SME and have a focus on exporting? Is your company selling internationally? Perhaps you’re not exporting but want to understand how you can reach new markets?
