Exporting

EXPORT

Burnley has a world class reputation, supported by a Premier League football club that highlights the town around the globe every week, and some of the most innovative products around.

I’m passionate about helping our brilliant local businesses make the most of the exciting exporting opportunities available to us, building on the reputation that Made In Britain has.

This is something I spoke about constantly during the 2019 General Election campaign and I remain as passionate about it now as I was then. Because supporting local businesses find new markets and grow their customer base is how we help create jobs that are high-wage, high-skill and resilient to economic changes.

I’m partnering with a number of businesses, organisations and individuals to help achieve a growth in exports and have established this page to bring together information that might prove helpful.
