This deal demonstrates how British ingenuity can better protect communities abroad and shows how the government can help UK businesses export their best-in-class equipment and services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UKEF can assist overseas buyers in obtaining financial support for their projects, provided that they are willing to source goods and services from the UK. This opens new doors for British suppliers of world-class quality to trade abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The lifesaving equipment will make Senegal\u2019s fire and medical services better armed to respond to emergencies. As a result of the UKEF backing, over \u00a334 million pounds worth of goods and materials for the project will come from UK suppliers. Senegal will export UK-made ambulances, firetrucks, footwear for first responders, and medical equipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Taylor, CEO of UK Export Finance said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenegal is a unique market for UK exporters to tap into.
