Thinking of bringing your business to the UK?
If you are an international business looking for new markets, the UK is an excellent destination for expanding your reach.
Britain’s place as a key European hub for exhibitions and trade shows is unwavering with UK exhibitions attracting 13 million visitors each year and 20% of those attendees coming from outside the UK.
Here are a few reasons why the UK is still a great place for businesses to attend or exhibit at trade events:
Venues
The UK has some truly world-class venues, mainly centred around the two biggest cities: London and Birmingham, although there are many top venues that are made accessible by the fact that Britain is a relatively small country compared to other expo hubs such as the US, France and Germany.
Although the NEC and Excel have the most prestigious trade events, industry-specific exhibitions can be very much spread out all over the country.
Top UK Exhibition Venues:
National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham
Olympia, London
Excel, London
Business Design Center, London
Event City, Manchester
Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC), Glasgow
Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC), Aberdeen
Exhibitions for every sector
Exhibitions such as Spring Fair International & The London Boat Show attract a global audience to the UK’s shores. With a reputation for attracting the best businesses from around the world, Britain’s trade events are the main reason businesses choose to exhibit in the country.
These events are organized by top-quality professional event organisers who are on hand to provide all the information you need leading up to the event. There is also a booming event services industry which can be found online or through the event organizer, ranging from services like drayage to exhibition stand design and build.
With Britain ranking as one of the easiest countries in the world for doing business and with the pound currently at its lowest rate for over 30 years, trading with British companies is as easy and even more profitable than it has ever been for international businesses.
Partnering with exhibition professionals
If you are an international business looking to expand your reach there are several things to consider when exhibiting in the UK such as delivery costs, health and safety regulations and even the different terminology used in Britain.
Despite this, the benefits of exhibiting at a trade show in Britain far outweigh the negatives due to the country’s largely affluent customer base, ambitious and wide-ranging trade events with the added benefit of language benefits of doing business in an English-speaking country.
