International Trade: Going the extra mile in pursuit of international trade success

When Les Nutter, managing partner at Cassons, recently visited Chile, he discovered it’s an attractive place for British businesses looking to expand their horizons. Here, he shares his experiences.

Innovations such as video conferencing and cloud technology have made the world a smaller place, allowing businesses to communicate openly in a way that simply wasn’t possible even a decade ago.

That’s why I, along with my tax partner Helen Cowley, recently jumped at the chance to visit Santiago for the annual worldwide meeting of BKR International.

Cassons become BKR members more than 10 years ago and it has completely transformed the way we operate internationally. It has given us access to a huge global bank of accountants and advisers, who are all experts in their domestic markets.

All of these relationships are invaluable when we’re helping clients set up in new territories.
