A RADCLIFFE firm is consolidating its enviable export efforts, bucking the effects of the strong pound.

Paul Dickinson, manager director of Fluidair Compressors in Miller Street, told a meeting of Bolton Bury Export Club his company was revitalising contacts with Singapore and Malaysia.

"South East Asia accounts for a third of our export business and has excellent potential, but careful preparation is required by companies thinking about doing business there."

He added: "One of the keys to success is long-term relationship building. "

He was speaking at the club's latest meeting which focused on doing business in the "tiger" economies of South East Asia.
