Now more than ever, trade without travel is crucial for UK companies looking to expand their international reach.
The Department for International Trade (DIT), in partnership with UK’s Finest, has brought together top quality agents from Canada to take part in virtual 1-2-1 meetings with alcoholic drinks producers from the UK .
Why Canada?
The Canadian market has huge thirst for UK alcoholic beverages, with imports totalling over CA$300 million in 2020 alone.* The country operates on a mixed public-private model whereby provincial governments have control over the importation and distribution of beverage alcohol in their jurisdictions. This results in large buying power, providing plenty of opportunities for innovative UK brands who are supplying exciting alcoholic products.
The Meet the Agent event
To capitalise on the increasing demand from Canadian consumers, DIT is organising a Meet the Agent event for UK suppliers, in collaboration with UK’s Finest. This event gives you the chance to showcase your products to new overseas partners and book meetings with agents who are looking to expand their portfolio of UK brands in the Canadian market.
