Reshore UK brings together and joins-up existing resources and activities of UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) globally, the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) in England and partner bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to promote the UK as the location of choice for businesses considering reshoring: it is not an employer in its own right.
