Guest Blog: Find international success with UK Export Finance
By Carol Harvey, Export Finance Manager, UK Export Finance
Across Scotland there are businesses selling their services and wares to the world, and yet there are still thousands of firms that could export but don’t. UK Export Finance is here to help.
Scottish companies have a proud history of doing business overseas, and certainly punch above their weight compared to the rest of the UK. A recent report from HM Revenue and Customs shows that Scottish exports are rising 1.6% faster than the UK average, with a total value of £28.8 billion.

Of course central to the debate is how many houses are required in the first place.
