Julian Amey: I’m Julian Amey working for the Department of Trade (DT), in the export promotions side particularly looking at media education training and telecommunications.

 

Interviewer: In the Department how much of the time is spent with exports? Is that the majority of the Department’s work, trying to encourage British exports?

 

Julian Amey: Exports is one of the three key areas of out involvement. Exports, the development of trade, the development of investment is the business of this department.

 

Inverviewer: And what sort of things can the DT do to encourage investment and trade? What are the general ways in which that’s done?

 

Julian Amey: Well the main focus of the Dts work at the moment is to provide detailed analysis of the markets, the priority markets I mean. Our aim is to help, particularly the small and medium-sized companies to tackle those markets in an efficient way. There are 80 of them, 80 key markets around the world.

 

Interviewer: And what do you practically do for them?

 

Julian Amey: The specific help is that each priority market has a desk officer who’s wholly responsible for providing information about that country. Let’s say Brazil. So you’ll have a Brazil desk officer who can give you all the detailed economic and political information about the market. then he can give you the help of our embassy in Brazil as well.

 

Interviewer: And how can it be done?

 

Julian Amey: Our embassies have commercial officers who can give further information about market segments and for example possibly agents who might act for your business.

 

Interviewer: Oh it’s all very important.

 

Julian Amey: Right you are. We help companies in the first steps into a market.
