Successful visit to Singapore for British exporters

British security exporters have just returned from an extremely successful visit to Singapore.

 The Safety and Security Asia 2009 exhibition, held in early October, saw 13 British security companies from a variety of industry sectors form a British pavilion to showcase their products and services to a broad range of visitors from across South East Asia.

 Chris Pinder, British Security Industry Association Export Services Manager, comments: "In a difficult economic climate, the BSIA was delighted to be able to organise for 13 companies to attend the Singapore exhibition, an increase from nine last year. Ours was the only international pavilion at the event, where the quality of visitors was extremely high and this proved to be an excellent opportunity to showcase UK plc."
