Education and Training Awards 2021

Best for Online International Trade TrainingWorkshops 2021 International trading is the backbone of the world’s economy, and for British industry nothing has had more of an impact than the UK’s decision to leave the European Union. With businesses struggling to find ways forward, the team at Export Unlocked are on hand to deliver truly incredible advice that makes a real difference to the way they work. In the light of the team’s success in Corporate Vision’s Education and Training Awards, we take a look at how this team has kept business moving forward. The world of exports is one which has undergone immense stress over the last few years, and arguably nowhere more so than with those countries that trade with the United Kingdom. The double- whammy of both Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed everything down, with many of the effects on the economy masked by other issues. In these changing times, the challenge for business has been to make a tangible difference that has a clear impact on the bottom line. When Export Unlocked was first proposed, it was to address a clear void in the market. There was no organisation that was able to provide assistance that went beyond advice in exports. While agencies had the expertise, few were willing to change their business model to one which involved experts being seconded into a business to facilitate the unlocking of its export potential. The mission of Export Unlocked, therefore, was to provide the vital hands-on perspective that would allow industry to thrive once again. Drawing on a wealth of different perspectives, the team has been able to make a real difference to numerous businesses across the country. The founding directors brought an incredible amount of skill to the table, with a wealth of knowledge of exports ensuring they could quickly make a real difference. The sheer demand for the services offered by the team at Export Unlocked, however, meant that additional experts were quickly required. The addition of many enthusiastic associates has allowed the business to thrive, despite the unique challenges of the day. For many, there was a need not just for hands-on expertise, but training courses that could support businesses to thrive in a new world of international trade. The team have designed numerous courses that quickly teach the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of the import-export trade and give their customers a competitive advantage in these challenging times. Since first opening the firm’s doors, the team have trained thousands of delegates, with bespoke training on offer to those who need more specific assistance. Like all businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic boosted the number of bookings for online support. Export Unlocked has run many workshops run on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, with each being CPD accredited. Groups ranging from four to twenty-five have had their eyes opened to the possibilities of international trade thanks to the tireless work of the talented team, with a comprehensive online programme that is easily booked and has been used by leading industry figures. The team have run courses for the Institute of Export & International Trade , Chambers of Commerce, Trade Ireland in North and Southern Ireland, and for the ICC Academy in Switzerland and Qatar. Apr21658 Adding a new member of staff to this highly efficient team is not an easy task. Those who work at Export Unlocked must not only bring an impressive practical knowledge, but be able to deliver service to the highest standards. There are many organisations that offer advice, but few that really get stuck into what a client wants to achieve. As the team at Export Unlocked has grown, it has been possible to assign specific experts to specific clients in order to ensure that they achieve the impressive results that they want to see. The success of Export Unlocked comes from the team’s detailed knowledge of the industry. While many offer advice, they offer a purely practical perspective that makes a real difference to how a company operates. In a world that has been defined by international trade, this team has wisdom to impart that simply cannot be missed.
