T&G hosted Dr Liam Fox, secretary of state for Trade & Industry, on Small Business Saturday (December 1). The company was part of a round table discussion at the Department of International Trade’s Export Hub – which is touring the UK to foster encourage business – along with other SMEs local to T&G’s HQ in Portishead, near Bristol.
The discussion –which was chaired by Paul Shand, DIT South West’s head of exports – looked at the issues faced by exporting SMEs and included T&G’s insights into export.
T&G’s managing director Patrick Gardner, Jenny Handley, head of marketing and Corinne Price, the company’s export manager, gave Liam and Paul a tour of the T&G showroom. “T&G is a great example of an environmentally conscious business who export all over the world,” said Liam.
