The Government is committed to growing exports to Europe. The Department for Business and Trade continues to provide businesses with a wealth of support options on great.gov.uk, including the Export Academy, Export Champions, our International Markets network and UK Export Finance. The department is rolling out the Trade Advisory service across the UK, giving consistent support to all UK Exporters.

The department’s Nation Teams bring support closer to businesses in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; they work closely with the Devolved Administrations (DAs), businesses and other key partners to improve the availability of support to businesses and ensure that the department’s support is available to all UK companies.
