U.K-based employee engagement specialist, WorkBuzz, has been selected to be part of a SelectUSA trade mission, helping to accelerate its U.S. growth after launching into America in June 2023.
WorkBuzz, which provides employee engagement technology that helps frontline workers to have a voice and give feedback, is one of just 15 U.K. scale-ups chosen to be part of the five-day delegation arriving into Washington DC on 23 June 2024.
The SelectUSA trade mission, led by the U.K. Government’s Department for Business and Trade in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce, is intended to boost the growth of U.K. tech companies in the U.S market. It will incorporate the SelectUSA Investment Summit in Washington DC together with a specialist Seattle-based program to introduce WorkBuzz to dignitaries, investors, buyers, partners and specialist advisers. WorkBuzz CEO, Steven Frost, will also be attending the British Embassy in Washington as the guest of His Majesty’s Ambassador to the United States, Dame Karen Pierce OBE.
