What is an Export Champion?
Export Champions are individually selected exporters who are managed by DIT Regional Teams and will provide face-to-face and online encouragement to businesses through both one-to-one and one-to-few interactions. As well as engaging with other companies as ambassadors, guides and critical friends, they provide a pool of vetted companies for PR and ministerial events and are a group of “DIT friendly” companies with which to test ideas.
