Medical device manufacturer Viomedex is expecting to make inroads into the international aid market.

This is following a trip to Geneva as part of a British trade mission.

The Uckfield-based firm has been invited to tender for a major contract by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.

Viomedex joined the mission following a one-to-one clinic with a senior member of the British Consulate staff from Geneva, who visited Sussex Enterprise.

The firm is working with Sussex Enterprise through the Trade Partners UK's, Your Passport To Export Success scheme which assists businesses wanting to develop overseas markets.
