Construction
UK construction companies are some of the strongest internationally and the reputation of this section of the industry is second to none. In addition to the major international engineering consultancies, architecture and commercial practices regularly appear in the top rankings of world league tables. Product manufacturers and suppliers are also a key part of the industry and companies in the sector have an annual turnover of over £40 billion. In many sectors, these firms are world leaders and over £5 billion of construction products and materials are exported from the UK annually.
Contact UKTI’s Construction Team to discuss how we can help your company take advantage of the global opportunities and develop your international business.
