Supporting German Business in the UK

The German Industry UK provides a valuable platform for discussion and partnerships to help drive the interest of German business in the UK forward.

In a world where barriers to trade are becoming ever more prevalent, it is important to promote the benefits of free trade. GIUK plays an important role bringing business and government together to promote the benefits of trade between the UK and Germany and the wider European Union.

German Industry UK (GIUK) serves as a significant catalyst in promoting productive discourse between commercial entities and government officials, effectively advocating for the interests of German corporations. We hold in high regard GIUK's dedication to fortifying the economic bonds between Germany and the UK, which is one of our key markets in Europe.

GERMAN INDUSTRY UK (GIUK) plays a vital role in fostering constructive dialogue between businesses and government bodies, ensuring that the interests of German companies like the Lufthansa Group are well-represented. We greatly value GIUK’s commitment to strengthening the economic relationship between Germany and the UK, one of our strategic markets in Europe.

Miele have been members of German Industry UK for many years, and we are proud to represent the interests of German businesses in the UK, alongside many other well-established and well-known companies. Collectively, we act as ambassadors for German businesses, their employees and the wider stakeholders that we represent, including millions of customers. GIUK creates many valuable forums to support each other as well as through excellent relationships with relevant Government departments. Miele GB is proud to work as part of this group to secure an exciting and prosperous future for all.

GIUK provide a great way for German Companies to access Policy makers and a network where it is possible to identify and resolve issues. GIUK are very well connected at Ministerial level which provides the opportunity to lobby on behalf of Industry.

Amongst many benefits GIUK offers the ability for members to network and collaborate are certainly one. I think the story behind the Draeger / ANT partnership is proof of that. It started at a GIUK meeting and led to the launch of a new solution we are jointly promoting. I feel there is massive potential in companies collaborating and this potential is untouched especially when it comes to incorporating SME’s is the collaboration. Draeger (the bigger, international corporate organization in our partnership) have been brilliant to work with and we already started to work together with the first potential customers.
