Most outsourcing contracts are done on a single project basis – a specific order to meet a specific manufacturing need in a specific timeframe. That said, some UK and European clients have longer-term aims or broader needs when it comes to China as both a production base or marketplace in its own right. For example:

• establishing their own production facilities in the country
• finding partners to co-operate on joint venture production or marketing projects
• selling-in to China itself.

These are all areas where our extensive experience can pay dividends. Because we are UK based, we understand commercial needs from the European executive perspective. But – at the same time – as we have our own wholly-owned operation in JiangSu Province, we are totally in tune with Chinese business culture and best practices. That’s a valuable, combined knowledge pool – one that allows us to offer a full suite of consultancy services.
