Simon Hancock, the firm’s ‘The UK is the second
largest aerospace manufacturer behind only the US’
research and development manager, said: “The British engineering industry has a global reputation for excellence, and we’re seeing this reputation build more and more as we trade with countries in Asia. Five years ago, we noticed a growth in the overseas aerospace market, which led us to increase our international footprint. “When starting the exporting process in Asia, language barriers may take some time to work around, but with increasing trade we have found that these diminish and DIT are there to help in early days. Government advisers from DIT have been crucial in helping us navigate this process as they have
team members in Asia that
not only speak the language but are trusted by local businesses. Paul Shand, South West regional director, Department for
International Trade, said: “The UK is the second largest aerospace manufacturer behind only the US, and it’s encouraging to see Stirling Dynamics being recognised internationally by a big brand like Mitsubishi Aircraft for its technical expertise.
“Businesses that export are
more profitable, but we know that the thought of approaching new international markets can still be daunting for many, particularly when you consider cultural differences, the language barrier and different regulations. “But businesses shouldn’t navigate this process alone. We’re proactively encouraging firms to export their products and take advantage of the support available to them. “We have more than 25 International Trade Advisers in the South West that can help businesses navigate the entire exporting process.”
