Exporting starts at home
A short while ago I dined at a very well known Leicestershire venue that attracts people from all over the country. The dessert menu included 'a selection of French cheeses'. Nothing wrong in that you may say but ponder a little longer and you begin to wonder why specifically French cheeses. That venue is but a few miles from the source of some of the best cheeses in the world, made locally in Leicestershire. The UK more widely makes a huge range of some of the finest cheeses that money can buy.

The East Midlands International Trade Association (emita) is an independent association established to promote international trade and export expertise amongst the regions businesses.
emita seeks to complement and not duplicate the activities of other international trade and export organisations already in existence by providing a platform where the regions businesses involved in, or aspiring to, international trade can come together, learn together and help each other expand their businesses.
Sponsored by the UK Trade & Investment, emita attracts members from companies involved in all aspects of international trade including manufacturing, distribution, services, sport and the arts.
The aims of the East Midlands International Trade Association are defined in its Mission Statement
