The Export Hub is a mobile outreach platform that hosts workshops and advice sessions so that businesses across the UK can access Department for International Trade export services on their doorstep. It is available for use by Members of Parliament to help boost exports in their constituencies.

The spend on the Export hub is as follows:

  • In this financial year to date: £1,195,253.34
  • Over the last six months (August 2019 to January 2020): £1,009,189.32
  • This calendar year to date: £100,799.19

We are not able to break these costs down by operation, maintenance and promotion.
