THE UK Government has announced its first export champions for Wales.
Drawn from founders and executives of firms across Wales, representing a wide-range of sectors, the voluntary role champions will support the Department for International Trade (DIT) to promote the benefits of exporting and encourage other companies to consider selling to overseas markets.
This will be done through participating in DIT events, sharing their exporting stories with those in their sector, and providing advice to other businesses about how to break into new markets abroad. In 2020 Wales exported £20.5bn worth of goods and services worldwide.
