Are you a Kent company which can offer support and advice to other Kent businesses in any aspect of international trade (market research, translation, access to supply chains etc.)? If so we’d like to hear from you. The KIB partners are keen to find out what support services exist in Kent so that we can help promote Kent’s private sector trade support ‘offer’.
Are you a Kent business that is already successfully trading overseas? The KIB partners are compiling a number of Kent international business case studies to encourage further international trade. Your experiences could be valuable to other Kent firms so please get in touch to share your story.
