Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to improve access to export support services for SMEs in Bradford.

Under the umbrella of the Business Growth Service, UK businesses can access DBT’s wealth of export support including the Business Academy, UK Export Finance, the International Markets network and one-to-one support from International Trade Advisers.

DBT has built strong partnerships in West Yorkshire specifically, including Minister McDougall joining West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin at the recent Made in West Yorkshire Sold to the World event in Bradford.
