Why Every Week Should Be Export Week
Another hugely successful Export Week is over but our drive to increase exports is not. As far as we at UKTI are concerned every week has to be export week if we are to grow our economy.
The UK is South Africa’s major trading and investment partner, with UK exports (goods & services) totalling £3.2bn in 2005.
