    Martin Littler, Chair of BATA comments:

    "In tough times we are all looking to export markets to grow sales and spread the cost of developing AT solutions for those with low incidence disabilities.

    BATA is teaming up with UKTI to bring unrivalled expertise, help - even funding - to help you spread the UK's great AT offerings to colleagues overseas. As examples we have John Crick's experience of exporting Clicker with UKTI and a focus on Spain where NASEN's Lorraine Petersen has found considerable interest in the British approach. UKTI's Shona Brown will be joining us from Madrid to answer your questions too. Interestingly my own company's website gets many more hits from Spain than any other European territory. I hope that you can join us for a profitable programme in a great venue. UKTI have promised a tasty lunch too!"
