Part of the Import Export Show, the IOE&IT International Trade Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of businesses, teams and individuals in the UK and worldwide who represent and strive for excellence in cross-border trade.
These eight awards recognise that quality, integrity and ingenuity are at the heart of global trade success. They shine a spotlight on those who put innovation at the heart of their business and trade strategy; have directly or indirectly encouraged inward investment into the UK; put environmental, social and governance at the forefront of how they trade; or have broken down trade barriers, ensuring trade is an enabler for local, national or international communities.
Any organisation around the world operating internationally, regardless of size, sector or industry, as well as individuals and teams, can enter the awards. Those who are shortlisted for an award will be contacted in due course.
Micro businesses, SMEs, large businesses, traders and professionals from across the supply chain, we want to celebrate you and your achievements, and for you to celebrate the achievements of your colleagues and peers.
