Agencia has been re-appointed as a Northern Powerhouse Export Champion for 2020, following a successful year in the role in 2019.
Nominated by their International Trade Adviser at the Department for International Trade (DIT), Agencia was selected for the DIT’s “If we can, you can” campaign on the strength of its achievements during 16 years of exporting, a period which has seen exports account for more than half of the company’s turnover.
Agencia’s Managing Director, Helen Gibson said the re-appointment amounts to recognition of Agencia’s achievements internationally and is also a challenge to encourage other businesses to tackle global markets.
She said: “We have worked across the globe, exporting our British healthcare and judicial expertise to overseas governments. Over half of our business is international, and we are looking to grow our work in the Western Balkans and South East Europe, East and North Africa and China.
“I’m delighted that we have been selected to be a Northern Powerhouse Export Champion for 2020. Being re-appointed to this role for a second year running is a real honour and a privilege. It is recognition of our efforts to expand our business by exporting our expertise to 20 countries including Kosovo, Tunisia, Kenya, Malaysia and Barbados.”
“This means we are contributing to our local economy in Yorkshire and the Humber and are in a position to encourage others to consider exporting by sharing our own knowledge and experiences. I want people to know that if we can do it – you can too!”
The Export Champions initiative started in the North West in 2013 and was extended across the Northern Powerhouse in 2018.
Businesses are selected on the basis of their track record for selling overseas and for the strength of the messages they can share with other companies through export seminars or workshops.
Export Champions also contribute to developing DIT strategies. During 2019, many of them were invited to attend round tables with Ministers and to participate in the Exporting is Great Hub and the International Business Festival.
