BUSINESS & Enterprise North East has won the contract to operate the regional UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) service for another three years.
UKTI helps businesses sell overseas in April and by September nearly 300 businesses had received its help to export.
BENE, which also runs the Business Link support service and North East England Investment Centre, said the North East had been highlighted as the leading UKCIG region within the UKTI Performance and Impact Monitoring Surveys, for areas including improved performance, productivity and competitiveness.
BENE chief executive Alastair MacColl said: “Our aim is to develop the very best package of international trade support in the country and to help even more businesses grow by trading internationally.”
David Coppock, international trade director for UKTI, added: “The business support process has been integrated, cohesive and straightforward, which is crucial in encouraging more businesses to consider opportunities in overseas trade.”
