Tees Valley firm boosts US trade links for local SMEs with new programme

A training firm based in Tees Valley is set to support companies to expand overseas with a new programme.

Enterprise Made Simple, which is based in Middlesbrough, has launched Inspiration USA with the support of the Department for International Trade (DIT) in a bid to help companies in the area that are looking to break into US markets.

The free course aims to support businesses across Tees Valley to connect with firms across the pond, providing SMEs with practical and financial support.

Chief executive of Enterprise Made Simple, Phil Teasdale, explained: “Inspiration USA is the next stage in our evolution.

“We already have over 130 businesses registered in Boston to take part, and there are still spaces available for UK firms.”

Director of International Trade, Julie Underwood, added: “Enterprise Made Simple provides a service that complements our own and we are delighted to have played a small part in the creation of a training programme helping businesses explore export markets.

“Phil and the team have an incredible track record for delivering quality training courses. Inspiration USA will add another string to the company’s already impressive bow.”
