International Development
A leader in international marine business
development
We play a major role in
supporting our member companies as they develop their businesses
across the globe.
We provide members with the opportunity to exhibit at
major international shows and set up inward and outward
missions to assist international trade - International Calendar.
We provide an essential
source of advice and contact on export development opportunities
and promote best practice and innovation in exports.
The
International Development service acts as your gateway to
the myriad of services that are available from:
- Chambers of Commerce
- Business Links
- Regional Development Agencies
- UK Trade & Investment
- UK embassies and consulates
- Other international Marine Industry Associations
We are also able to
provide personal assistance from our own extensive knowledge base
and contacts we have built up at events and exhibitions and
recommendations.
Our Statistics and Market
Research service provides information on UK and
international markets. This includes the ICOMIA global
boating industry statistics report 2007 which BMF members can
obtain free of charge (saving of €300 member cover price). For
more details please visit the International
Markets section.
Our Legal and Finance department can
offer free advice to members on issues arising from exporting.
These include VAT and European Law.
Our objective is to promote British marine excellence and
provide advice on increasing companies’ performance and presence in
overseas markets, whilst encouraging new exporters to exploit
international opportunities.
What our Members say about this service...
The BMF tour opened doors that are normally closed. We were
welcomed into the heart of the Italian boatbuilding sector to meet
major OEM buyers in their yards.
