TWO companies are hoping to break into an export market by taking part in an overseas visit.
CIA Training, of Sunderland and Newcastle, and Ford Component Manufacturing, of Tyne Dock, are visiting the Netherlands as part of the Export Explorer programme.
Representatives will join a group from ten small and medium-sized firms from the region.
The trip is organised by Business Link Tyne and Wear on behalf of Trade Partners UK, the Government support service for potential or existing exporters.
Export Explorer offers potential exporters a market report outlining the opportunities the target country offers for their product, or service.
Jeff Sanders, international trade advisor at Business Link, said: "We aim to provide all the services a new or inexperienced exporter could need to break into a new overseas market.
"CIA and Ford are examples of the wide variety of companies that can benefit, and I would urge other firms in the region that are considering moving into the export trade to think seriously about the help Trade Partners UK can offer."
