When we were a UK based company we had the misfortune to be on a number of British trade missions to far flung parts, with ministers and indeed PM,s, and I can honestly say I can not remember getting any significant business, or making any further contacts through being on them. Indeed given the behaviour of some delegates and members of govt in foreign parts it was better to distance yourself from the whole entourage, as they proved to be a significant embarrassment. Personally I have always done my own spade work to secure work world wide, and I would not need a Union Flag on a brightly coloured ex RAF 330 with the usual hangers onboard to do it.
Similarly as now based in Germany, I do not expect to be flying round in Mrs Merkel,s tired old Grey 340 which does break down a bit I am told. However I am interested in EU grants and or loans which can be used to further our business world wide but I can access those through my keyboard,s !
Kind regards
Mr Mac
