China Consulting
China is the world's second largest economy and the largest producer of a wide range of consumer and industrial goods.
Alongside remarkable industrialisation, urbanisation is driving a fast-growing consumer market of greater sophistication. Retail growth rates are more than double the current GDP growth of ~7.5%.
For over fifteen years our China consultants have been helping UK companies establish a presence in China.

We offer project management and advisory services — covering business development, market entry, and sourcing.
Sourcing & Market Entry in China
Chinese markets can have greater complexity compared with those in other international destinations.
They present specific challenges of culture, language, regions, regulations, and controlled currency — requiring an awareness of the dedicated resources and time required to tackle challenges and manage the risks.
Success in China
Companies should conduct careful research before initiating business in China. This can save costly mistakes in the long run, and ensure that business strategies reflect the latest changes and rate of market development.
