弊社は、長年培ってきた英国中小企業による日本市場参入サポートの経験をもとに、世界中で評価されている日本の優れた伝統工芸品や高度技術によって造られた製品や革新的アイデア商品などを英国へ輸出したいという中小企業様をサポートすべく創業いたしました。
私は2007年に英国へ移住して以来、日本へ帰国する度に、日本企業によるものづくりへのこだわり、商品やサービスレベルの高さに感動します。日本には、本当に素晴らしく高価値な商品が数えきれないほどあり、他国にはまだないもしくは通用する商品が数多くあります。しかしながら、言葉の壁、該当市場に関する情報の不足、どうコンタクトを取ればいいのか分からない、などといった理由で参入の第一歩に至っていない企業様も多いと思います。
イギリスに所在する弊社は、そのような中小企業様の課題を解決する海外事業部としてトータル的サポートをいたします。
まずはお気軽にご相談ください。
ご連絡お待ちしております。

Approaching local companies in the local language truly matters when trying to break in to the Japanese market.
July 2025
Recently I've had a pleasure of working with Loadhog Ltd., a Sheffield-based manufacturer of innovative & sustainable logistics packaging on a prospecting project. One of the short-listed prospects was a company they had already interacted with a year before but had no success in hearing back after their initial business proposition was politely declined. Undeterred and believing that they are the right partner, Loadhog asked me to try reaching out to them on their behalf. I did so in Japanese while carefully & effectively using the cultural nuances. We then learned that this company had regretfully made a hasty decision to say no to Loadhog at that time due to other priorities.
The result: Loadhog was able to re-engage with this company, now in the process of sending some samples to them with their technical department involved. Things are moving forward!
A great example of a UK/non-Japanese company that keeps perseverance yet appreciating the local business culture to enter the Japanese market.
