On the 11th June 2009, Redditch-based Righttrack Consultancy was crowned Runners-up for the Passport Exporter of the Year at the 2009 West Midlands International Trade Awards. The award is designed to recognise a company's exporting achievement following their participation in the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Passport to Export programme; which Righttrack joined in September 2007.

Righttrack Consultancy is the learning and development specialist with over 21 years experience in designing and delivering training solutions, which range from an off-the-shelf 1-day presentation skills programme right through to bespoke modular management programmes.

Righttrack has been exporting for the last 9 years and as the company has grown so has Righttrack's ambition to take full advantage of a comprehensive export strategy. With the support of the Passport to Export programme Righttrack invested in a range of development activities to ensure that the internal team was prepared for the international assault. The development included a range of seminars based on exporting as well as Arabic language sessions.

Since September 2007, Righttrack's international presence has grown dramatically; clients have been secured in new countries, which include Bahrain and Malta, all of which have been supported by over 25 sales visits to key customers and enquirers in the Gulf region, and these efforts have been incredibly successful.  

Righttrack's international focus for 2008 has led export sales to be 3 times more than those in 2007 and an impressive 17 times more compared to 2006; clearly fantastic results for Righttrack, and they aren't stopping there. For 2009 Righttrack have an 80% growth forecast for their export market and so far are on course to achieve this.

Kasmin Cooney, Righttrack's Managing Director, who collected the Runners-up award on the night said, "The Righttrack team and I are incredibly proud to have our export activities recognised. We have worked incredibly hard to build our international presence over the last 9 years.

Exporting is a serious part of Righttrack's long-term strategy; we have dedicated marketing activities and an international website as well as making regular marketing visits. It is this tailored approach, which has gained a lot of praise from our international clients.

2009 looks set to be our best year yet and our international markets have played a key roll in achieving. We are really excited to see what happens for the rest of 2009 and 2010; hopefully more new markets and awards are to follow."
