Speaking at the event, Lord Digby Jones, said "I am greatly impressed
by the variety of companies being recognised for their efforts to
compete in the global marketplace. This diversity of businesses is good
for the strength of the region and for the UK. All have taken on the
demands of exporting and all have benefited from working with Passport
to Export. I would strongly urge others to take up the challenge."

skills they had learnt during the Passport to Export programme in
