The Exporting is GREAT campaign works closely with hundreds of UK companies and scores of partners to encourage more companies to start exporting or to export more.

These partners include professional services firms, banks, major online businesses, business representative organisations and trade / professional bodies.

These companies give their time freely, at no cost to the public purse beyond the resource cost required to manage and support their involvement. It is not possible to separate these specific costs from the overall Exporting is GREAT campaign costs
