Versarien joins "Exporting is GREAT Campaign"

Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce a further partnership with the Department for International Trade (DIT), by becoming an official "Export Champion", in order to help promote the UK Government's "Exporting is GREAT" campaign. The overall aim of the campaign is to create a movement that inspires more UK companies to sell overseas, in line with the UK Government's stated policies to encourage exports.

Given Versarien's current export success through its variety of international collaborations and future exporting and outward direct investment (ODI) strategy, Versarien now joins select companies from across the UK offering their expertise and advice to inspire companies to export and support existing exporters looking to expand into new markets.

Versarien will now be able to officially use the "Exporting is GREAT" logo and Versarien's ODI story will be used by the DIT, where appropriate, with the objective being to spread the DIT's message "If we can, you can". Further information on the campaign may be found at https://www.great.gov.uk/.

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We feel honoured to have been chosen as an Export Champion partner of the Department for International Trade, especially with regards to supporting the UK's Exporting is GREAT campaign.

"We look forward to supporting the Exporting is GREAT campaign given our own exporting and overseas expansion strategy, and for the continued support to Versarien from the DIT."
