International trade relies on a global understanding of international business protocols, but it also relies on an understanding of local cultures and an in-depth, localised appreciation of specific markets.We set out to establish a mutual trust with our suppliers and our clients and we are determined to build on that trust.None the less our established systems of checks and balances ensure that business matters are conducted as smoothly as possible.Dealing as we do with differing geographies, cultures and languages, the initial "speed bumps" are expected as a matter of norm and are dealt with efficiently as a matter of course by Echelon Global.
