James Bowker, Export Finance manager for Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, said: “UKEF’s results demonstrate our ongoing commitment to making exports happen and to finding innovative ways to meet a broader range of exporter needs.  More importantly, they highlight the growing international demand for UK goods and services and the willingness for UK businesses to meet that demand.” ## Case study: Ansible Motion A major overseas growth opportunity led [driving simulator](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-solutions) producer Ansible Motion to engage UKEF.  Quite simply, after winning a supply contract with a foreign automobile manufacturer, the Hethel Engineering Centre-based firm needed to boost its existing resources. UKEF provided the financial support to ensure that Ansible Motion had appropriate resources to manage the high-value deal, helping to arrange a government guarantee to allow the company’s bank to give it the required financial support. Kia Cammaerts, founder of Ansible Motion, said: “Because of the scale of this project, we were presented with an exciting growth opportunity. For a company like ours, experiencing strong overseas demand, UKEF are just the partner we need, with the strength of a UK government guarantee to match the strength of our [products](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) and our ambitions.” [Read the article on the Norwich Evening News website.](http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/business/driving-simulator-developer-ansible-motion-on-road-to-exporting-success-after-securing-share-of-4-7m-government-fund-1-5115822) [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/453384/5ffe6a19-7ead-4b23-8092-b8c6d49e0a07.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/453384/5ffe6a19-7ead-4b23-8092-b8c6d49e0a07) ### Subscribe now ### Popular news ### eBook **Better by design: 10 Advantages of Ansible Motion DIL simulators** ![10-advantages-front-page-01](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/CTAs/2021-CTAs/10-advantages-front-page-01.jpg) [![download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/453384/27bb9213-08a2-4b19-9221-6993ee9fa690.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/453384/27bb9213-08a2-4b19-9221-6993ee9fa690) ## About Ansible Motion Founded in 2009, Ansible Motion creates and deploys technology associated with the physical and logical simulation of human-experienced vehicles.
