Russell McLeod Limited has considerable experience of what it takes to be internationally competitive and successful

Russell McLeod Limited’s advisers have considerable international development expertise, gained by working both in executive and advisory roles. Our experience covers export, partnering (in various forms from licencing to joint ventures) and the establishment of in-market operations i.e. incorporation in territory. Whist the bulk of our experience has been gained within the US and Europe, we have worked on assignments in most regions of the world. Our sector knowledge is considerable and covers energy, life sciences, textiles, chemicals, construction, food and drink, consumer and industrial goods, software, electronics, microelectronics, and technical and professional services.

Key to our success has been the development of approaches to international development that fit the means of our customers. By aiding customers to understand the level of commitment required to succeed, we have established a track record of supporting customers to build sustainable revenue from international markets.

Typical issues that we have supported customers to address include:

• market prioritsation and selection (founded upon market research)

• proposition (product / service) alignment with market requirements

• design of the model through which to service the market (export to incorporation)

• identification and engagement of in-market representation should that be required

• design of management arrangements that will underpin sustainability and growth

• technical considerations (documentation, foreign exchange management, etc)

Our international development solutions are tailored to the requirements of each customer, whether new to international development or seeking to accelerate development by introducing new approaches and / or new markets. We have worked closely with Scottish Development International over many years and are well placed to leverage whatever assistance might be available to support our customer’s development efforts. We are very confident in our ability to add value, enabling our customers to achieve their goals faster, more cost effectively and with lesser risk.
