Made in the UK, Sold to the World Awards

Posted on April 23, 2024 by Captain P. Fawcett

Huzzah!

Captain Fawcett is enormously proud to be Highly Commended in The Department for Business and Trade 2024 Made in the UK, Sold to the World Awards!

To be recognised in such outstanding company is truly a huge honour, shared by the Right Hand Man and whole Fawcett crew including the Captain's highly esteemed colleagues, friends and distributors across the globe.

Our thanks to the Department for Business and Trade for their invaluable guidance and support.

Now in their second year, the awards recognise and celebrate the global trading success of small businesses from across all Nations and regions of the UK.

New UN figures show the UK was the 4th largest exporter of goods and services globally in 2022, moving up from 7th in the rankings in 2021. The potential for economic growth and expansion opportunity through international trade is incredibly exciting.

Marco Forgione, Director General of the The Institute of Export & International Trade commented: ‘The evidence continues to tell us that businesses that trade internationally are more sustainable, more resilient, more innovative, employ more people and, ultimately, are more profitable.’

Certainly Captain Fawcett’s experience has found Marco's observation to be true. Not only do export markets form almost 80% of our company's revenue, having a wide international customer base made all the difference when bricks and mortar trading stalled during the Covid pandemic.

As such, we are proud to be IOE&IT Export Champions for the 4th consecutive year. If you’re based in the East of England, do connect to find out more about how to start selling internationally. Or contact the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) which has a wide range of free guidance, services and experts available to help unlock new opportunities and grow overseas sales at GREAT.gov.uk.

Huzzah for all the small businesses doing their bit for the UK.

Onwards chums! 🇬🇧
