About UK Trade & Investment

UK Trade & Investment is the government organisation that helps UK-based companies succeed in the global economy and assists overseas companies to bring their high quality investment to the UK.

UK Trade & Investment is an international organisation with London and Glasgow headquarters. Across our network we employ around 2,500 staff and advisers, including those overseas (in UK embassies, high commissions, consulates and trade offices). In total, there are over 150 UKTI overseas offices in around 100 markets. We also have a number of local offices throughout the nine English regions and Devolved Administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

UK Trade & Investment brings together the work of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. It draws staff and administration funding from both parent departments, but has its own stream of programme funding, for which the Chief Executive is directly responsible as accounting officer.
