Bilateral Trade
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”
“We need to remember that trade is a great peacemaker that enriches people and increases international understanding and ties between nations.”
- Dan Quayle
Trade isn’t just numbers — it’s relationships.
The partnership between Türkiye and the United Kingdom continues to be one of shared opportunity, mutual investment, and strategic alignment.
Trade is more than economics—it’s about connection, cooperation, and shared value. Hudson supports businesses and institutions navigating cross-border opportunities, especially between emerging markets.
We’ve advised Turkish MSMEs exploring BRICS-aligned markets and supported cross-sector talks between education bodies with other BRICS members and partners. From policy briefs to pitch-ready export proposals, our team helps you move forward with confidence.
Recent work includes helping a retailer and distributer SME in Istanbul align with UK market opportunities and building a dual-language business toolkit for firms looking to scale their sustainability practices for wider investment opportunities abroad.
We make trade more human—and more strategic.
At Hudson, we help businesses understand, navigate, and benefit from the UK–Türkiye Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the evolving post-Brexit trade landscape.
The Opportunity in 2025
The UK–Türkiye FTA, signed in 2020 and reviewed in 2023, now includes enhanced provisions across goods, customs, digital trade, and technical cooperation — with discussions ongoing around expanding service coverage and green trade facilitation.
Why It Matters Now:
Zero tariffs on most industrial goods mean UK and Turkish manufacturers save millions
Strengthened automotive and machinery supply chains support growth across key sectors
Increased ease of trade through digital customs tools and updated rules of origin
Renewed focus on sustainability and digital trade aligns with both countries' climate and innovation goals
UK market access remains strong post-Brexit, especially for exporters of vehicles, textiles, and electronics
With bilateral trade exceeding £21 billion and still growing, now is the time to take advantage of this evolving partnership.
