Department for Business and Trade
On February 7 2023, the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak split the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy(BEIS) into three new departments creating the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and the Department for Business and Trade.
The Department for Business and Trade brings together the business focused functions of the former Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Department for International Trade (DIT).
Kemi Badenoch MP who was appointed Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade on 6 September 2022 became the Business and Trade Secretary.
The UK Government website stated: "The department will bring together business expertise and world-class trade negotiators under the vision of making the UK the best place to start and grow a business - driving growth, increasing jobs, and raising wages and living standards. It will amplify engagement between business and government and strengthen our offer to international investors. The department will support investment, unlock exports, and open up new markets through trade deals, with joined-up offers of support to UK businesses operating both at home and abroad."
