--- What is PCS International?

• PCS was created in France in 1990 by Christina Fielvard LLB MIEx. Her in-depth knowledge of the import/export trade process through the forwarding industry, together with a good grasp of European languages and a confirmed sales background, gave birth to the idea of putting this knowledge and experience to the service of the small business often put off by the procedures of international commerce as well as the language of the target country, and for whom both access to, and knowledge of, effective sales tools was often restricted to much larger companies.
  From this idea, Practical Consultancy Services was born.
  At the start, assignments involved the elaboration and implementation of bespoke export development projects for an essentially UK SME client base en-route to Europe. Step-by-step accompanying in the export process, enabled even the smallest of companies to achieve an overseas sale in the target country, or at the very least to establish a willing contact in the market place, a seed sown from which to reap future business. It pays tribute to the flexibility and commercial mindedness of PCS that by 2005 over 900 cross-industry companies had been assisted single-handed through the international trade process.
  
  
• With 2008, PCS has opened an office in Blantyre, Malawi, working both with local producers and suppliers as well as taking care of overseas interests for whom Malawi also offers a central, safe and convenient location for accessing neighbouring countries like Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Mozambique.
  
  
• Languages spoken: mother tongue fluency in both French and English, understanding of Spanish and Italian, and confirmed international business background not only in France, but Southern Africa, the US as well as the UK. Contacts within network can assure coverage in most other languages including Mandarin Chinese.
  
  
• Extensive experience in most major industries from FMCG and Services to Manufacturing, as well as marketing expertise whether channel, brand or integrated, ensures that PCS brings the appropriate benefits to your business.
  
  
• P.C.S. is a fair trade and ethical business. We believe that sound economics can co-exist with win,win,win scenarios for long term problem-free relationships.
  
  
• All initial meetings with new clients are free. PCS believes that what goes around, comes around, and will as far as possible supply freebies in the form of beneficial information/contacts/ideas where these are useful.
  
  
• We take confidentiality issues very seriously. Because of the nature of the work we do, we may work very closely with our clients, and we can therefore also be privy to a great deal of information both personal and professional. Because of this as a general rule we operate a non disclosure policy for every client, their business, their identity and every project we deal with. The non-disclosure policy runs on  for a specified time even after the project has come to an end. Other than generic names all other information remains strictly confidential.
  
  
• PCS  quotes in UK£, EUR€, or US$. All quotes exclude VAT, and out-of-pocket expenses.  All enquiries are assessed and costed individually.
