What makes a truly successful global exporter?

November 2025   

It isn’t just about great products—it’s about mindset, respect, and genuine curiosity.

Last week, I had the great pleasure of working with a Midlands-based engineering company as they hosted a potential distributor from Japan. I was invited to provide escort interpreting and cultural guidance during the guest’s visit to the company and their local outings.

Beyond enjoying the work itself—making the guest feel well looked after and helping both sides understand each other—it was a real privilege to learn more about the company’s engineering excellence and the innovative technology that is now finding its way into a new market: Japan.
What impressed me most was the team’s willingness to share their knowledge and expertise, their genuine pride in their work, and the company’s openness to learning about Japanese culture and business practices.

This combination of excellence and openness is precisely what sets successful global exporters apart.
