ETK Group is extremely happy to announce that we have become members of The British Exporters Association (BExA), which is an independent national trade association representing the interests of the export community and exists as a lobbying, promoting, educating and networking organisation for UK exporters and associated services providers.

BEXA was established in 1940 as the National General Export Merchants Group, it became the British Export Houses Association and then in 1988 adopted the name of British Exporters Association when it recruited manufacturing companies as members.

Who is BExA?

BExA is a not-for-profit and non-party political organisation that’s led by its members, for its members.   Its membership is drawn from a wide cross-section of organisations within the exporting community, including large corporates, MSBs, SMEs and micro-exporters and their bank, credit insurance, legal and other service providers.  BExA seeks to promote the interests of its members and all UK exporters, with a particular focus on trade finance and export credit insurance.

What does BExA do?

BExA is a valued contributor to, and is engaged with, many Government departments and committees to drive export policy forward.  These include the Department for International Trade, UK Export Finance, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and Houses of Parliament Select Committees.

First published in 2010, BExA also authors an UK Export Finance Benchmarking Paper which compares the performance of the UK’s export credit agency against others around the world. It has become the go-to guide to measure UK Export Finance’s product range, activities and quality of support to ensure that no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance.
