UKTI have a dedicated team helping UK companies enter this market called the Aid-Funded Business Service (AFBS). For more information on these international agencies and how you can work with them click here.

10 companies have joined the Forum since our last newsletter - from cheese manufacturing to children's dressing-up costumes - MWTF's member companies come from a wide range of sectors.

The last four years running MWTF has come as an enjoyable end to an almost 40 year career in international trade, the majority of which has been spent in the private sector. However I've decided that the time has come to start a gradual wind down and at the end of June I'll be leaving the Forum to take on some work, which will give me a shorter working week and the opportunity to enjoy some free time.
So this is a fond farewell to everyone who I have met and got to know so well over the last four years. I hope that MWTF has helped you in some small way along your export journey and I wish you all every success for the future.
My successor is Karen Mercer-West, who takes over at the beginning of July and she will be in touch in due course.
Kind regards
