JETCO Meeting Explores UK-Qatar Trade Opportunities
During the inaugural Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETCO) talks held in December, International Trade Minister, Greg Hands, met with Qatari Minister of Economy and Commerce, HE Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim al Thani, to discuss opportunities to strengthen and build on bilateral trade ties between the two countries. It follows a commitment made by the Qatari Prime Minister in March to invest an additional £5 billion across the UK over the next 3 to 5 years. The talks concluded with both sides signing a statement outlining their mutual commitment to support small businesses in both countries and improve access to trade fi nancing to help exporters.
Trade between the UK and Qatar was worth more than £5 billion in 2016, with machinery, mechanical parts and precious stones and metals among the most popular UK goods exports to Qatar.
During the talks, the Ministers also met UK companies working in Qatar and looked at ways to overcome market access barriers, while fresh dialogues on education and technology will create signifi cant opportunities for important UK industries.

Priorclave Wins Prestigious US Autoclave Contract
To manage the safe and effi cient disposal of waste and sterilisation of glassware from the University’s research and academic programs Fullerton required energy effi cient research grade autoclaves. Rightsizing the autoclave for the tasks and facilities can result in tremendous energy and water consumption savings, while reducing operation and maintenance costs.
Working closely with Priorclave North America to identify best autoclave options Fullerton placed an order for three 150 litre, one 200 litre and fi ve 320 litre machines. All nine front-loading autoclaves are electrically heated, providing the university with energy effi cient research grade autoclaves for sterilising various waste including media and glassware. These autoclaves are ideal when there is an infrequent (up to fi ve) sterilising cycles per day, using only power and water when required.
The largest and most recent export contract won by Priorclave is for shipment to the USA of nine research grade autoclaves which will be destined for the campus of California State University, Fullerton and will be used by faculty and students in the Department of Biological Science and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
The purchase decision falls in line with an autoclave study by the University of California-Riverside which was published in the December 2016 edition of Lab Design -
