We have two main customer bases -
Our close bilateral ties are the bedrock of a growing trade relationship
worth more than $2.4 billion. We are not simply markets for each
others' goods and investments - companies in both countries see
collaboration and partnership as a key to a successful future.
The enlargement of the EU opens the door to an even larger market
for New Zealand goods and services, using the UK as a springboard.
There have been several encouraging examples of British and NZ
companies working together to develop product, test ideas, and
refine processes.
Now, supported by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) and
UK Trade and Investment (UKTI), NZ companies are being actively
encouraged to look at links with, and in, the UK. An MOU between
UKTI and NZTE signed in March 2005 was expanded in March 2006.
This provides access for NZ companies to UKTI support. This will
encourage more NZ companies to look at the UK as a place to invest
and make it easier to tackle the EU markets more easily from a
UK base than from New Zealand.
