Welcome
This is an exciting time to join the Department for Business and Trade.
We have a clear mission - to grow the economy. Our role is to help businesses invest, grow and export to create jobs and opportunities right across the country.
We do this in three ways:
- Firstly, we help to build a strong, competitive business environment, where consumers are protected and companies rewarded for treating their employees properly.
- Secondly, we open up international markets and ensure resilient supply chains. This can be through Free Trade Agreements, trade facilitation and multilateral agreements.
- Thirdly, we work in partnership with businesses every day, providing advance, finance and deal making support to those looking to start up, invest, export and grow.
Our people are based across the UK and in over 100 countries around the world. We deliver through our 19 partner organisations including the Competition and Markets Authority, British Business Bank and the Trade Remedies Authority. We connect business and government, which is reflected in the skills and expertise of our people.
I look forward to hearing from you.
