About the Made in Britain Trade Centre
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help British manufacturers export, market, and sell their products in the United States
and beyond.
We achieve this by offering a one-stop trade consultancy and he way from strategy to sales. We are headquartered in Florida, the ideal gateway to the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Our platform, TradeWithBritain.com, provides expert export readiness assessments, regulatory compliance guidance, and access to trade shows, expos, and key buyers.
By offering strategic support, on-the-ground representation, and digital marketing integration, we empower British brands to succeed abroad—sustainably, profitably, and proudly.
Our Story
The Made in Britain Trade Centre was founded on a simple belief—that British manufacturers deserve a bold, effective route to international growth, especially in the U.S. market.
Created by passionate exporters and trade professionals, our journey began with a mission to bridge Britain’s excellence with America’s opportunity.
After years of navigating export challenges, trade fairs, and U.S. compliance, we recognised the need for a simpler, smarter pathway for UK companies.
From our base in Fort Lauderdale, our trade centre and consultancy team work directly with British SMEs to help them comply with U.S. import standards, connect with verified buyers, and access major distribution networks.
Through our dynamic e-commerce and trade events platform, we showcase the best of British innovation—from fashion and food to technology and design—sharing the craftsmanship, heritage, and entrepreneurial spirit that define Britain’s global reputation.
Our Vision
At the Made in Britain Trade Centre, our vision is to be the premier launchpad for British brands to enter, grow, and thrive in the U.S. and global markets.
We envision a future where British craftsmanship, innovation, and quality are celebrated across the Americas, with Made in Britain products accessible to every major buyer and consumer.
Our goal is to make the USA the most profitable and exciting export destination for UK manufacturers by reducing trade barriers, simplifying compliance, and offering real-world market access.
Through our Florida-based consultancy and TradeWithBritain.com platform, we position British brands in front of top U.S. buyers, retailers, and distributors.
As a trusted bridge between Britain and the Americas, we are shaping a new era of transatlantic trade—where every artisan, heritage brand, and tech innovator can elevate their products on a global stage.
