Market Insight
John Woodruffe
• Working with UK companies through our client confi dential chargeable service (OMIS) seeking to expand their operations in the market. We often fi nd that, although UK companies have world beating technologies, they fi nd it diffi cult to proceed without knowledge of the Chinese market and having the correct contact. We help on both accounts.
Even if a UK company is relatively small, or
new to market, our government involvement in setting up a meeting means not only that the company gets to the right high level contact at fi rst time of asking, rather than spending months trying (and often failing), but they are taken seriously when they do secure the meeting. This service is open to all UK based
companies and signifi cantly enhances their credibility in a market such as China where the environment sector is tightly controlled by the Chinese government. So although there’s a lot to do, it’s thrilling
to be at the forefront of China’s development and play such an important role in helping UK industry get access to this fast moving market. Email
