Success Stories from International Trade Week
Kath Darlington MBE, CEO of The Scott Partnership:
“ITW events bring together the best experience from across the UK. It’s a no-brainer for any business looking to widen its reach and futureproof against macro-economic risks.”
Byron Dixon OBE, Founder and CEO of Micro-Fresh:
“DBT opened doors to new markets and introduced us to key decision-makers during International Trade Week. We’ve started conversations that could lead to partnerships in Europe and the Middle East — opportunities that wouldn’t have happened without their support.”
Anna Parker, Head of International Sales at Paxman Scalp Cooling:
“International Trade Week 2024 sessions offered practical advice and fresh insights into navigating international trade. It helped us build useful connections and gave us a clearer view of how to grow our global reach.
