Notice Information

Notice Title

Great Investors Programme

Notice Description

The GREAT Britain campaign is the Government's most ambitious international marketing campaign ever and showcases the very best of what Britain has to offer in order to encourage the world to visit, study, and do business with the UK. UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) are now seeking to extend a pilot programme that complements existing efforts to attract foreign direct investment to the UK by focussing on high-net worth individual investors. The objective is to attract the right high-value individual investors to the UK through bespoke programmes, tailored to specific interests and put together through matchmaking them with UK opportunities. It complements existing efforts by HMG to attract foreign direct investment to the UK by focusing on Individual Investors and family owned businesses that can bring significant commercial and philanthropic investments across a range of sectors. We are looking for a partner that can add value, experience and expertise in showcasing the UK through: arranging exceptional visits at minimal cost; identifying sponsored events and opportunities that will spark enthusiasm in investors/clients; networking at the highest levels; and work closely with us on a daily basis by seconding a member of staff into the UKTI/FCO team. Additional information: Contract was extended in May 2018 as allowed for within the contract terms
