The client problem

Why companies use this service

The page is structured around real procurement decisions: what can be supported, what evidence is needed, what you receive and where the service boundary sits.

Typical problems

  • British suppliers may respond slowly to unfamiliar overseas enquiries or small one-off requirements.
  • The buyer has no employee in Britain to call, visit or follow suppliers during UK working hours.
  • Stock, packing status and documents cannot be checked physically from overseas.
  • Several UK purchases require one local communication and follow-up point.
  • Opening a UK office or employing a permanent buyer is not justified by the current purchase volume.

Working method

How the service is controlled

Each stage separates confirmed facts, open questions and client decisions so that procurement activity does not become confused with technical approval.

01

Desk scope

We agree which UK suppliers, RFQs, visits, orders and reporting tasks are included in the desk.

02

Local communication

Impro communicates with agreed British suppliers during UK working hours and maintains the client’s open-action list.

03

Verification & visits

Supplier checks, stock evidence review or physical UK visits can be added where required and permitted.

04

Consolidated reporting

The overseas buyer receives one practical status view covering the agreed UK procurement activity.

Inputs and outputs

What to send and what you receive

FAQ

Buyer questions before engaging us

Short direct answers clarify the commercial scope and reduce ambiguity for buyers, search engines and AI answer systems.

Do we need to open a UK company to use this service?

No. The service is intended for overseas companies that need local UK procurement support without establishing their own UK office.

Can you communicate with suppliers we already know?

Yes. The desk can support existing supplier relationships as well as new supplier searches within the agreed scope.

Can you visit suppliers for us?

Yes, where the supplier permits access. UK visits are separately scoped according to location and purpose.

Can one desk manage several UK orders?

Yes. A continuing desk can maintain a combined status view across agreed RFQs, suppliers and open orders.

Who pays suppliers and freight?

The client normally funds the product purchase, freight, travel, inspections and other third-party costs unless a separate written arrangement states otherwise.
