This is exactly the kind of innovation that will help Britain earn its way in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Britain exporting more is key to our long term economic plan which is why at the last Budget I announced a series of measures including overhauling UK Export Finance, and further boosting funding for UK Trade and Investment to support companies that are seeking to export.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am delighted to see an iconic brand like Weetabix doing just that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"color: #0b0c0c;\"><strong>Giles Turrell, Chief Executive of Weetabix said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #0b0c0c;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are very excited about the opportunity for our brands in the Chinese breakfast cereal and snacking market and will continue to invest in our products, adapting these where relevant, to allow us to build a successful long term future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International expansion provides exciting new opportunities for<strong> Weetabix<\/strong> and our staff, and as the Chancellor has highlighted today, such innovation helps to secure jobs at our <strong>Corby<\/strong> and <strong>Burton Latimer<\/strong> sites in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/24roids.com\/buy-androgel-5mg-14-pouches-testosterone-gel-for-sale-online\">online pharmacy testosterone gel<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By William Mills<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[375],"tags":[349,329,1163],"class_list":["post-7124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-china","tag-rt-hon-george-osborne-mp","tag-weetabix"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
