Case Studies
Don't just take our word for it. The Language Networks across the UK have helped hundreds of companies across the UK to develop or fine-tune their foreign language and cultural strategies. Below, businesses that have profited from understanding foreign languages and cultures share their experiences.
Fashion / Tailoring
Cuddledry (Somerset)
Cuddledry is an award winning Somerset firm that found national acclaim for its unique, quality, organic baby bath towels. With early advice from UKTI and RLN SW, the company founders have been able to make export decisions sooner rather later and with greater confidence, knowing their approach to global markets was the right one.
Twenty 01 01 (Ipswich, Suffolk)
Established on 20th January 2001, Twenty 01 01 specialises in up-market fashion and interior accessories and giftware from around the world. Although a small business with only two staff, many of the products adorning its shelves come from France, Morocco, India and Mexico, countries visited regularly by its two owner-partners.
