May 2002:

John Wheatley, Managing Director of Wheatley Associates, meets His Royal Highness The Duke of York.

The meeting took place on 14th May 2002 at BT's prestigious Research Laboratories at Adastral Park in Suffolk. The Duke, in his capacity as Special Representative for International Trade and Investment, met with selected high potential companies from the Cambridge-Ipswich Hi-Tech Corridor that are embarking on export drives to generate international trade.

As stated in Suffolk Business Magazine, by Wheatley Associates Marketing Manager Mike Ward, "The principle reason for the export drive is that Wheatley Associates have been so successful in the UK that most of the domestic market is currently using their solutions and exporting is the key next strategic step in the plan for generating new revenues."
