BUSINESSES on the Isle of Wight have been encouraged to 'go global.'
At the Routes to Market Roadshow, held in East Cowes as part of the Department for International Trade's (DIT) Exporting is GREAT campaign, Island firms were urged to step up their export game.
The campaign aims to inspire 100,000 more businesses to trade overseas by 2020.
As part of a nationwide tour, the Export Hub — a 32 tonne truck and team of international trade advisers providing advice and expertise — visited East Cowes earlier this month.
Staff from Island Ales attended, together with Isle of Wight Council representatives and MP Andrew Turner.
The DIT's regional director of export and investments, Tom Fourcade, said: "The roadshow demonstrated just how much potential companies from the Isle of Wight have on the international stage.
"I’d urge ambitious Isle of Wight businesses to adopt a global outlook to exporting by visiting www.great.gov.uk where they can search and apply to the many global export opportunities currently available, as well as access expert advice, trade services, training and events.
