Grow Global Using E-Commerce

UK companies are also in a prime location for e-exporting, with the UK being identified as a world leader in online exports (Source: Qubit, 2014).

Global consumers are increasingly buying via the web and expect UK goods to be available to them to purchase online. With online consumers forecast to rise by 3 billion over the next two years, there is a huge opportunity for UK companies to cater for this audience by presenting their goods online.
