Jo Bird were one of three businesses in the South west featured in an article by Zoe Bagnall of Business west about export success stories during these challenging times. The rapid growth in worldwide demand for offshore wind has provided the opportunity the company needed to reduce its dependence on oil and gas projects. Zoe also featured two other quite unrelated companies to provide a broader view of how exports can be grown. Hopefully this will encourage other businesses to follow.
Despite being experienced exporters, there are always lessons to be learned and Business west have provided invaluable help to Jo Bird to achieve these ambitions. Something that is not easy to do for an SME with a relatively small headcount and a presence in a number of market sectors.
