<p>A business leader has called on British industry to rediscover its &#8220;trading spirit&#8221; after a survey found that more than one in four firms did not export any goods.</p>
<p>The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said a survey of 500 manufacturers revealed that 27% did not export anything, while a further 15% only made 10% or less of their turnover in international trade.</p>
<p>Half of those not exporting said there was enough business in the UK for their needs, while almost one in four did not believe they had a suitable product to sell overseas.</p>
<p>David Frost, the BCC&#8217;s director general, said: &#8220;British exports haven&#8217;t grown as predicted despite the competitive valuation of sterling.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our industry needs to rediscover its trading spirit, and become far more proactive when it comes to exporting. Businesses must look for export opportunities for their products &#8211; especially in high-growth developing markets.</p>
<p>&#8220;Long-term Government support is vital. State-backed trade promotion and improved export support will stimulate the UK&#8217;s current and future exporters. Governments in all major developed economies provide business with international trade services to help them to access new markets.</p>
<p>&#8220;We urge the Government to think manufacturing in everything that it does to ensure 2011 is a year for growth for UK industry.&#8221;</p>
