Aegies Associates have recently been approved to deliver the help for the  Virtual Export Manager (VEM) program run by the UKTi.

Our inclusion on the service provider register of approved specialists for delivery of the UTKi VEM program means that we will now be able to offer international business and export advice to businesses in the North East of England.

Aegies Associates Ltd Managing Director Keith Blundy said: "we are really pleased to have achieved this accreditation and be recognised in this way. It means we can now use more than 30 years of international marketing and product development experience to assist businesses in the region. In these difficult business times, one potential for UK business struggling to fill their order books with just UK business is to explore taking their products into overseas markets. Doing this can be very daunting if you have never done it before.  But with a little help exporting might be the very injection of activity that businesses need".

Businesses can access the various UKTi initiatives by contacting their local UKTi advisor or going to the UKTi website and registering interest there. 

Keith Blundy says " I wish I had been able to get this kind of support and guidance when I first started my international export activity - the help that can be gained by having a knowledgeable and experienced person to support me would have been invaluable".

To discuss your export opportunities before applying to UKTi for support is as simple as giving us a call, we will give you 2 hours of advise free of charge. If you want to take things further we can put you in contact with UKti and see what we can do to help on an ongoing basis.
