Burnley company lands first order from Vietnam

The Ultimative Visual Solution's project was to supply a UVS Lucidity controller for a data centre video wall project in Hanoi, following an initial enquiry via the company’s website.

Karen Holden, International Trade Adviser from The North West International Trade Team, based in Manchester, visited the UVS HQ and demo room in Burnley to get a full understanding of the business before offering expert advice and support throughout the process of concluding the deal.

That included dealing with a request from the client for UVS to provide an original Certificate of Origin, which it was able to obtain from East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.

UVS managing director Steve Murphy said: “We are delighted to have secured our first order from Vietnam, which means we have now worked on projects in more than 20 countries around the world in the last 12 months.

“The help we have received from The International Trade Team has been invaluable and undoubtedly helped us complete the deal as smoothly as possible.

“During their visit to our new HQ they explained the services they had available, including marketing, searching for relevant business opportunities and in country support services.

“We have never had to provide an original Certificate of Origin before, but Karen directed us to relevant departments to get things organised quickly.”

UVS is based at Business First Burnley Business Centre and provides video wall displays and audio visual solutions to a range of clients across the UK and the rest of the world.
