Timeless Tube Awarded UKSPF Funding to Expand Export Business

Timeless Tube is proud to announce that it has been awarded funding from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund to grow its overseas trading. This will be used to bolster Timeless Tube's efforts to expand into international markets, growing its presence among global engineers, manufacturers, and construction professionals.

A panel of export experts chosen by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council awarded the funding to help support Timeless’s strategic initiatives to increase sales and market penetration in key regions such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the United States. With the assistance of external consultants, Timeless Tube will undertake comprehensive market research, deploy targeted content marketing strategies, optimise search engine visibility, and implement business development initiatives targeting supply chain managers and specifiers.

"We are delighted to receive the UKSPF Exporting grant from BCP Council" says Tom McMillan, Director at Timeless Tube. "This funding will empower us to accelerate our expansion efforts and establish a stronger foothold in international markets. Our international clients are hugely important to us – this resource will help us to better understand our overseas client base, learning more about how we can best meet their needs”.

The Shared Prosperity Exporting Grant will enable Timeless Tube to visit overseas trade shows, develop industry-specific marketing collateral, and secure memberships for relevant trade associations, thereby strengthening its position as a leading shaped tube supplier in the international marketplace.  

“We’re delighted that industry experts have recognised Timeless Tube’s potential growth in overseas trade. In recent months we have acquired clients from new locations – from Brazil to Bahrain. Our international clients are testament to how unique our product is. Clients choose Timeless because of the range of shapes and sizes that we make, as well as the quality of our product and our fabrication services”, says McMillan. “The whole workshop team are proud that our tube is used in Europe, the US and beyond.”  

As part of its commitment to the BCP Council's 7 Point Pledge, Timeless Tube will champion the BCP city region on a global scale, advocate for business collaboration and clusters, and uphold the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction. “We are committed to leveraging this additional resource to drive sustainable growth and create meaningful opportunities for our company and the local community."
