answer text <p>UK Export Finance’s (UKEF) range of products work through guaranteeing banks (either loans, bonds or letters of credit), providing a loan directly, or through insurance. UKEF records information on the region of the exporter for its trade finance products introduced in 2011 which provide a guarantee to a bank. These products cover contract bonds, working capital loans and letters of credit. They exclude UKEF guaranteed buyer credits.

answer text <p>UK Export Finance (UKEF) currently has a network of 22 Export Finance Managers (EFMs) who cover all regions of the UK. No regions are overlooked. In some cases, an EFM whose physical office is located in one region will also provide full coverage for a neighbouring region. In January 2017, this network will be enhanced by the recruitment of an additional Senior Export Finance Manager, providing further support to exporters and businesses located across the North of England.</p><p>EFMs play an important role in fulfilling UKEF’s mission that no viable export fails for want of finance or insurance from the private sector. EFMs act as local points of contact to introduce exporters and businesses with export potential to finance providers, credit insurers, insurance brokers, trade support bodies and sources of government support (including support provided by UKEF itself).</p><p>UKEF publishes the names and contact details of its EFMs on its website here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/find-an-export-finance-manager" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/find-an-export-finance-manager</a></p>
