Get help from a trade specialist

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has a network of trade specialists who can also help you find overseas customers by:

  • helping you prepare for a trade show or overseas market visit (sometimes grants are available - check with the event organiser)
  • arranging introductions to potential overseas buyers, agents and distributors (there’s a charge for this service)

To find out more, first see the export guidance on great.gov.uk, then contact a trade adviser in your region.

If you had an OMIS account

If you had an Overseas Market Introduction Service (OMIS) account and want to talk about something you commissioned, contact a trade adviser in your region or email omis.orders@digital.trade.gov.uk.
