The group, which includes representatives from NATS, IHG, De La Rue and Delcam, will meet key government and business community figures in both Mexico and Colombia.
They will take part in seminars, discussions and site visits, giving them the chance to gain useful knowledge of the market and engage with potential commercial partners.

This is an exciting time for UK trade with Colombia and Mexico. Our relationship with these two dynamic countries is already close and has been for many years. This mission will develop even stronger commercial partnerships.
