Paul Painter, Sales and Finance Director said, \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/crowd-safety-planning-for-major-events\/\" title=\"Successful crowd safety planning for major events\">event represented a super platform to celebrate successes<\/a> of all businesses involved in the supply of materials to the Games in London. The event, followed on from the launch of two UKTI reports \u2018Game On\u2019 and \u2018Brazils Moment to Shine\u2019 which highlighted opportunities in Brazil at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics, also offered valuable insight into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/temporary-fencing-for-businesses\/\" title=\"Three ways temporary fencing can help established businesses\">ways in which businesses<\/a>, such as Zaun, can achieve export sales\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Also on hand at the event was Paul Deighton, LOCOG CEO who mingled with attendees to hear their stories at first hand regarding their participation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/what-a-year-2012-was\/\" title=\"What a year 2012 was!\">2012<\/a>. The official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/olympics-legacy\/\" title=\"Olympics legacy\">Olympic<\/a> Torch also made an appearance at the event.<\/p>\n<p>During 2010\/11, Zaun have made significant gains in increasing export sales from its UK operations in the Midlands as well as increasing market share across its regional business in France. Paul continued, \u201cWe have worked closely with UK <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/zaun-scoops-bccc-award-international-trade\/\" title=\"Zaun scoops BCCC Award \u2013 International Trade\">Trade<\/a> and Investment and Advantage West Midlands, to develop growth in export sales. Some of this increase has come from working closely with available agencies to assist in developing export opportunities for us\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a direct result of working on the Stratford site in London, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/black-country-day\/\" title=\"Zaun are proud to be from the Black Country\">Zaun has seen sales opportunities come from countries<\/a> who are hosting other high profile sporting events in the future. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/school-sports-fencing\/\" title=\"Zaun &amp; ETC Sports combine on school fencing\">Zaun represented the Midland region at the prestigious Sport<\/a> Accord event in London earlier this year. The event helped showcase companies who supply materials linked with sporting <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-sectors\/\" title=\"Sectors\">applications<\/a> and that have suitable experience to demonstrate their abilities in the supply of such products. It is hoped that contacts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/made-in-britain-event\/\" title=\"Zaun hosts Made in Britain event\">made at this event<\/a> will provide further opportunities for our company, as we look to continue the good work started from working on the Games\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading integrated fencing manufacturer,
