On 23 April, Made in Britain delivered an online session to support UK manufacturing companies to export to Europe.
Presentations were provided by:
- Made in Britain company, Mathmos Ltd, sharing their experience of exporting to Europe
- The Department for Business and Trade’s International Markets and EU Hub teams, offering support and advice for UK exporters
- The UK Export Academy, providing details of free training and resources for UK businesses looking to grow their international sales
Since Brexit, the UK’s and EU trading landscape has changed, but European countries are still amongst UK’s closest and strongest trading partners.
Every year the UK sells more than £350 billion of goods and services to customers in Europe. In 2023, the EU accounted for 42% of the UK’s exports.
Since the EU’s General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into effect on 13 December 2024, which replaced the current General Product Safety Directive (GPSD), this new regulation has introduced significant updates aimed at enhancing the safety of consumer goods sold both online and offline across Europe.
Made in Britain recognises the value of businesses talking with their peers, and this session facilitated that for UK exporters wanting to hear real, practical examples, directly from the exporters themselves. Whether it’s an exporter venturing into Europe for the first time or one with extensive experience in the market, this session provided valuable insights.
Circa 80 companies registered for the session to listen, discuss, and ask questions.
The session was hosted and facilitated by Advisor to Made in Britain and Director at MAP UK & International, George Middleton. It took place as part of Made in Britain’s International Trade Programme.
