The Railway Industry Association (RIA) has called for the Department for International Trade (DIT) to continue supporting small businesses to export.
The Exports Director at the Railway Industry Association (RIA), said: “With the Government looking to drive exports in the coming years, now is not the time to be withdrawing support for small businesses to exhibit at overseas trade fairs. The Tradeshow Access Programme, which provides small grants to SMEs exhibiting abroad, has been a major help in introducing businesses to exporting and has shown its value by providing a good return on investment. Stopping the scheme now will only make it harder to achieve the Government’s vision of a ‘Global Britain’.
