As part of the government’s efforts to drive economic growth, the Trade Secretary has appointed a new ‘global growth team’ of UK Trade Envoys with the goal of driving UK exports and investment.
32 MPs have been assigned target markets across the globe and have been tasked with identifying trade and investment opportunities for businesses as well as championing the UK as the place to invest for investors in those markets.
The markets chosen are all considered to have significant potential for growing UK trade.
Jonathan Reynolds, the Business and Trade Secretary, said the new Trade Envoys “will use their experience, expertise and knowledge to unlock new markets around the world for British businesses, drumming up investment into the UK and ultimately driving economic growth.”
