Export Demand Group companies are helping the UK businesses to exports their trade in Central and Eastern Europe, by helping them with a new Uk-based e-commerce site to alert the companies about business opportunities.

“Compared to other emerging markets, Romania has the added advantages of being a EU member state and only three hours away from the U.K.” saied Raymond Breden, executive chairman at the British Romanian Chamber of Commerce.
“There are currently more than 4,000 UK companies operating in Romania. Trade between the two countries topped 3.28 billion Euros in 2016, which is a growth of 11.9% compared to the year before”
Another country UK is currently working with is Poland. An organization of producers, processors of specialty food and drink from different British counties, has joined the UK Trade & Investment team in Warsaw and some Polish businesses to boost the profile and sale of products from the heart of UK to Eastern Europe.
Last year the Minister of Trade and Investment, Ian Livingston, launched British Business Centers in Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and Slovenia.
UK wants by 2020 to expand the export to this region and to introduce more British business to potential buyers.
Many of our clients structure different payment terms depending on the overall value of their projects. In many cases, a small proportion of the overall value of the project remains until the client has confirmed successful installation of the machinery or possible Turnkey line is installed and running accordingly.
Our job is to work very closely with our clients to ensure full order finalization and to deliver the necessary support, translation and assistance with certification to ensure all orders are finalized, run smoothly and final payment is received.
With the local support network of our parent company MIA Group export demand has a strong infrastructure of local offices.
All of the inquiry follow-up and local support comes from an experienced team of qualified staff with industry specific knowledge.
We ensure that the local support we deliver provides our clients with opportunities to build business in their chosen export countries, but also to support local partners in building the best possible relationships with our manufacturers.
In many cases we are providing our clients with technically minded local partners, with expertise, proven relationships with the industry sector and more vitally the ability to assist with technology demonstration, installation and after service support.
We are an economic and effective alternative to Exhibitions. Many of our clients attend trade shows and exhibitions. At the end of the trade show they may have generated some interest in their Technology but they now have to do the hard work of following up those enquiries, qualifying those enquiries and chasing the prospective companies that they have heard from during the exhibition.
We believe that there should be more support . We believe that our job is to develop a qualified enquiry from an organization that has a definite commercial interest in our client. We then assign a head of research to our clients to deliver support going forward.
We believe we should provide 12 month ongoing support, in terms of qualification, credit checking, translation, following up the enquiry in order to deliver as much on the ground support as possible to help our client progress with the initial enquiry we have developed.
