With all of the turmoil surrounding the UK exit from the EU it is even more important for small businesses to recognise that selling products and services to overseas buyers remains as a real solution for expanding the customer base. Exporting is also the element of business that benefits from ongoing publicly funded support. As other support schemes and funding drift in and out the government backed services for exporters have always continued, albeit now rebadged to match the parent organisation ‘DIT’ the Department for International Trade, (previously UKTI).
For Lincoln based business SPSC (UK) Ltd Pool Safety Specialists, exporting has always been on their agenda. The business is known as one of the leading UK suppliers of technology based safety systems for public swimming pools and has customers at home and abroad including swimming pool operators in North America and the Middle East. The management team of Directors Rob White and Gary Clarke plus Marketing Manager Karen White have over 20 years’ experience in the sector and were the first to design a drowning detection system back in 1996.
