"Swindon was the ideal location for this meeting because of its excellent transport links and the profile of the businesses we are aiming these seminars at," said Berkeley Fenne, International Trade Advisor for UKTI.

 

"Brazil is a growing rapidly in its world economic stature and with its expanding aircraft industry and automobile manufacturing offers a number of opportunities to UK-based engineering firms." 

 

The meeting focused partly on explaining the rules and regulations for exporting to Brazil, as well a question-and-answer session with delegates.

 

"The feedback from today has been excellent," said Martin Raven, General Consul of the British Consulate in Sao Paulo, who spoke at the event.
