One UK company, two client groups
UK companies appointing Impro

Overseas companies appointing a UK desk
Impro acts inside Britain for overseas industrial buyers and selected manufacturers requiring supplier communication, verification, visits, meetings or market development.
Who appoints us
Client sectors with recurring procurement pain
Engineering and maintenance companies
When engineers need procurement support but must protect their customer relationship.
Industrial distributors and stockists
When difficult enquiries consume time and normal supplier routes fail.
EPC and project contractors
When supplier, document and milestone control must remain visible.
Power, marine and process users
When ageing equipment creates urgent, obsolete or technically incomplete requirements.
Overseas industrial buyers
When a physical UK commercial presence is required without opening an office.
Export-ready manufacturers
When a manufacturer needs disciplined UK market testing before major investment.
How service fees work

Every assignment defines the activity, output, deadline, fee, authority and exclusions.

One RFQ, verification, visit, report or defined research requirement.
Monthly desk
Agreed RFQ or order volume, response standard and reporting cycle.
Project support
A fixed market-entry, expediting, verification or procurement project.
Approved expenses
Travel and third-party costs are authorised before commitment.
Client decision
The client keeps final technical, supplier and purchasing approval.
Clear close-out
Impro reports results, limitations, open matters and next actions.
Working-capital rule
What Impro does not finance
Client funds remain separate from Impro service income
- Product purchase price
- Supplier deposits and balances
- Freight, storage and customs charges
- Travel and accommodation
- Laboratory and certified inspection fees
- Advertising, exhibition and third-party marketing cost
Confidentiality
Work behind the client where required
Impro can operate under NDA, use agreed communication authority and provide white-label procurement support. We do not approach the client’s end customer or disclose protected supplier information without permission.
Important: Impro must still describe its own legal role accurately and will not make false distributorship, certification or facility claims.
