Subsidised 2005/6 Programme for Overseas Trade Missions
01 Sep 2005
In order to promote the overseas market for the engineering industry, the following overseas exhibitions have been successful in securing subsidies from UK Trade & Investment. This would effectively reduce the cost of participation and enable exhibitors to take advantage of grants of 50% of the expenditure on stand space, construction and freight up to a ceiling of between £1,600 and £2,000, says Karen Finegold, of the Engineering Industries Association (Tel: 020 8950 9832, Kfinegold@aol. com).
