Small companies in the northeast of England are preparing to present their products and services, such as the government in Blyth, Northumberland, sold to the world this week.

The event, the first of eight planned in Great Britain, will organize almost 100 buyers of 19 markets from overseas – including South Korea, Mexico, India, Poland and Germany – with a special focus on clean energy companies with British exporters. The roadshow series also visits Belfast, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Cardiff and aims to combine small companies with international markets faster and more effectively.

Gareth Thomas, Minister for Services, small companies and exports, said: “Through these road shows, the government focuses on supporting the support of the most important growth sectors, which makes it faster and easier for smaller companies to connect with markets, capture and expand export opportunities.”

Each roadshow will concentrate on another sector, with the upcoming events dedicated to advanced production, life sciences and financial services. In Blyth, in addition to the international buyers, 30 commercial leaders from British messages and consulates will be available to give advice and make connections easier.

Among the participants is Alex Marshall, group operating director at Clarke Energy, a manufacturer of gas -powered electricity producers. Marshall, who also acts as the government’s export champion, welcomed the initiative: “The event is an excellent place to discuss the latest international trends and export opportunities for British companies in the area of ​​clean energy.”

In addition to direct meetings, the road shows workshops and seminars, which are managed by the government supported by the government, which offer practical guidelines for areas such as market research and market routes.

Despite the strong support of the government, the latest figures indicate that small companies are still facing challenges when exported. A study by the Ministry of Business & Trade 2024 showed that only 18 percent of the companies with income over 500,000 GBP in the past year looked at experts for the export of 24 percent in the previous year.

Exporters who are interested in upcoming road shows can register their interest through the official website of the Business & Trade department.
