UKTI testimonial from Directorzone speaker.
“We knew that the UK success of T.M. Lewin could be accelerated through international expansion. After a chance encounter with UK Trade & Investment last year, their proposal for market research and help in finding franchise partners was priced at 5-7% of quotes from 2 UK accountancy firms. One year later, we have 6 stores in Singapore and are planning more in Malaysia with one of the local partners that UKTI identified. UKTI came in under budget and over delivered – just like T.M. Lewin for our own customers.” Geoff Quinn, CEO, T.M.Lewin and Sons Ltd. - privately owned shirtmaker, £80m turnover. 19th November 2009.
