Acknowledgements

We would like to thank UPS and BT, whose commitment to this historic agreement and belief in its advantages, particularly for smaller companies, has been crucial for the success of the road show series and the report. Furthermore, the road show series would not have been possible without the support of our many partners across the United Kingdom (UK). Together, we form a coalition for transatlantic business. We look forward to continuing this important initiative in 2015. We are particularly grateful to all companies across the UK who have shared their stories with us and who continue to help us understand the importance of trade and the impact a future trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) could have not only for their businesses but also for businesses and local economies across the UK.
