The spend of £61,360.91 paid for a Department for International Trade stand and GREAT advertising at the UK pavilion at the SIAL (Salon International de l'Alimentation) 2022 trade show in Paris.

The stand enabled UK food and drink companies to identify new export opportunities and showcase their products to global buyers. It also upskilled SMEs on export support services, while promoting the Government’s growth agenda. This is just one of the Department for Business and Trade’s compelling programme of trade support activity that encourages UK food and drink businesses to unlock international opportunities.
