As an example the Business School has been working with Macalloy, one of Yorkshire’s best known companies, since 2009. Leading players in steel bar and cable manufacturing Macalloy focus on product innovation and overseas market penetration as drivers for growth.  Macalloy has contracted the Business School to deliver a series of international market studies which has enabled them enter a range of overseas markets. In the current project four African students from the International Business Management and Global Business postgraduate courses at Sheffield Hallam are currently working on identifying the potential of markets in North Africa. The outcome of the project will be a detailed report detailing the 9 target countries and key major projects Macalloy may wish to target or select for further research. The Alchemy Exchange support has been a major contributory factor to Macalloy being awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for International Trade 2010.
