Vouchers Accelerate Border Trade

Vouchers of up to £1,800 each are up for grabs for companies wanting to overcome barriers to all-island trade and increase their sales.

InterTradeIreland Director Aidan Gough has been getting 'behind the wheel' (pictured at Formula Karting in Newry) to encourage companies to get 'on the road' to economic recovery by taking advantage of the novel Trade Accelerator Voucher scheme. He said they can be used to access expert advice on taxation, employment law, currency or regulation. Mr Gough said: "Many companies are nervous about taking the first step to export success because of different regulatory challenges.

"They are unsure where to go for expert advice, or in the current climate, cannot afford to pay for this advice. This voucher helps companies to get over these barriers, speeding up the market entry process."

Companies are urged to be quick off the mark as vouchers are proving popular.
