We take off and invite you to travel with us :
My name is Pilar Bazan. I trained as a clinical pharmacist and early on in my career specialised in international trade and market development. For nearly three decades I have worked in the provision of services related to business development to companies and organisations belonging to multiple sectors in Spain and the United Kingdom.
After a few years focused on the management of projects related to health and personal wellbeing for seniors that has meant a brief gap in the multi-sector trajectory of my career, I return to the field that is my professional passion: services to help companies enter or expand in Spain or the UK.
I do this through Spain-UK Business Desk, a project that summarises the experience and learning of many years and has the purpose of assisting and sharing the values that, in my opinion, are fundamental elements to achieve business success.
In this article, I want to introduce you to Spain-UK Business Desk, tell you about its objectives, its services and its benefits. But to begin with, I want to explain an essential element: its philosophy.
Spain-UK Business Desk: our philosophy
We are all in business to make our organisation more successful, to promote growth and increase revenue.
After years of sharing experiences with clients, suppliers and colleagues, I have learnt that people are central to achieving business projects' objectives. Their interconnection is pivotal to contributing to their success and most of the clues to different stages of each project can be read in people's comments, their reactions and their feelings.
People are at the core of our companies and projects, whatever their size. People are, therefore, at the core of Spain-UK Business Desk.
And that importance configures three main points of our business philosophy:
Collaboration
At Spain-UK Business Desk we follow a “win-win” approach: if our clients benefit, we all benefit.
Our purpose is to provide assistance in the development of international markets and to be able to do it efficiently, we need to get to know the needs and objectives of the people we assist. To gain this knowledge, actively listening to our clients is essential.
The concept of collaboration is, therefore, key in the way we interrelate. This translates into strategic alliances, both for our own growth and for helping to achieve our clients' objectives.
Communication
Personal wellbeing
What we do best
Spain-UK Business Desk's objective is to help its clients achieve their goals in the destination country of their choice, take care of their wellbeing and generate contacts in the process.
Our clients are always at the core of everything we do in order to responds to the needs of organisations of all sizes that require efficient, cost-effective, tailored solutions.
They benefit from the three main strengths that characterise our work:
- Our ability to identify core issues within a situation.
- Our planning and organisation capabilities.
- Our commitment to communicate.
These are added to our specialisation in Spain and the United Kingdom and the access we provide to flexible personalised services that represent really cost-effective solutions.
Our Services
Our services comprise all aspects of the International Business Development Process, including solutions for each stage.
Those companies starting or with the need to have representation in one of our destination countries can benefit from our Concierge Services, that include our "Business for the SOUL" services.
Our assistance in the field of Relational Marketing includes the design and organisation of business events, promotional campaigns and presentations.
For exporting companies, we offer International Trade Services that help with the tedious export and customs procedures and paperwork, much more relevant after Brexit.
Our “Smart Start Packages” provide an easy and convenient way to access some of our services proporcionan una forma cómoda y sencilla de acceder a algunos de nuestros servicios y comenzar a trabajar juntos.
Our Clients
Our work is suitable for companies and organisations of all sizes and most sectors.
Some of our clients are already well established in our destination countries and need specific services to complement their existing resources. Others tackle the destination country for the first time and require initial market research, representation in the country or assistance in preliminary negotiations.
Nearly all organisations with an interest in Spain or the United Kingdom as a destination country can benefit from our contact networks generated through our everyday work, our seminars, events, etc.
Conclusion
Spain-UK Business Desk is a multisector platform based on a win-win concept and providing assistance services in the opening and expansion of international markets for organisation of all sizes with a focus in Spain and the United Kingdom.
The client is at the core of all our activities and the wellbeing of the people interacting with us is an essential element of our philosophy.
Our work is devoted to help our clients achieve their business objectives by providing made-to-measure solutions to respond to their specific needs and requirements.
