We work ever more closely with UKTI because of its network right across the world.  It has great specialisms in certain offices across the world, and we want to take advantage of that.  There has been regular engagement — more so since I became the Minister — with UKTI.  Dialogue is happening across all levels of UKTI and Invest Northern Ireland.

We have ensured that the GREAT campaign messaging and core script include the appropriate reference to the wider Northern Ireland business and tourism offering.  We are also working very closely with UKTI to ensure that the Northern Ireland message is included and applied at the relevant international events.  Companies such as Wrightbus have been included in the GREAT campaign.  We are very pleased to see that that is the case.
