I need to correct your assumptions. My other half and I had a small manufacturing company and she pulled out all the stops trying to get orders for all British manufacturers whether large or small.
Every overseas British Embassy and Consulate was instructed to send back intelligence of the needs of local buyers. I know of one small company who manufactured FIRE extinguishers and he used to receive weekly lists of possible customers in foreign countries. The only drawback was invariably a quotation was needed for a quantity of: "FIRE electric"
