A new directory of private sector providers who can support foreign investors setting or expanding in the UK is available and businesses can now get themselves involved or featured.
The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, announced the opportunity for business applications to become members of this Directory at the Board of Trade meeting which took place in Swansea on 15 November. Applications will be open for businesses to complete from Friday 16 November, until Monday 17th December.
Membership is free and will promote the investor expertise of the UK’s service sector to other potential investors across the globe. The Directory is to be made up of a number of service sectors across the UK including accountants, lawyers, management consultants and publicity professionals.
Membership benefits include the opportunity to be part of a national Directory where your industry, regional and international expertise will be looked upon by investors seeking specialised support to meet their needs. It provides a great opportunity for business looking to further expand their network and increase their visibility to foreign investors across new international markets.
Completed applications will need to be sent to investmentdirectoryapplications@trade.gov.uk. (Please note that Directory membership will not equate to a partnership with DIT.)
