The GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland (www.great.gov.uk) website is managed by the Department for International Trade (DIT).
The announcement of a new GREAT.gov.uk platform was made on 14 November 2016 by the International Trade Secretary, Dr Liam Fox, to: give UK businesses secure preferential deals through DIT to help them start exporting; and provide a brand new searchable export directory to match businesses according to the worldwide demand for different UK goods and services.
The launch of the GREAT.gov.uk trade hub for businesses was intended to help them access millions of pounds? worth of potential overseas business, give practical advice, and signpost support to help them win lucrative contracts. The site would act as a single digital destination for trade and investment, bringing together and connecting UK businesses, international buyers and international investors. Whether businesses were new, occasional or frequent exporters, they would be able to take advantage of the new suite of tools and exclusive deals on fees or commissions with some of world?s leading online marketplaces. By registering, businesses would become part of a brand new searchable directory of UK exporters which government will use to match their products and services with worldwide demand.
