Team Reach recently had the privilege of attending an exclusive food and drink event at Australia House in London, courtesy of AUSTRADE (Australian Trade and Investment Commission). AUSTRADE is at the forefront of accelerating the growth of exporters, attracting foreign investors, and stimulating the visitor economy, playing a pivotal role in fostering international partnerships and driving economic prosperity for Australian businesses.
As proud suppliers of a diverse range of Australian seafood and Wagyu, we are always keen to stay up-to-date with the latest industry developments and trade concerns. This invitation provided us with a platform to showcase premium Australian produce and capitalise on the benefits of the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement (A-UK FTA), which eliminates tariffs on over 99% of Australian goods exported to the UK. The Australia Free Trade Agreement, signed back in December 2021, has been instrumental in facilitating our endeavours by removing barriers to trade and enhancing market access for premium Australian produce.
The evening featured an enlightening presentation by Anastasia, the trade and investment commissioner for the UK & Ireland, who highlighted the opportunities presented by the A-UK FTA. Additionally, our commercial and procurement teams were able to network with industry stakeholders, fostering new connections and reinforcing existing relationships.
A big thanks to AUSTRADE for this invaluable opportunity… we look forward to future occasions!
