ABOUT US
Spain-UK Business Desk and International Club BUSINESS DESK were created to remove the uncertainty organisations face when entering or expanding in Spain or the United Kingdom. With deep local expertise and a relationship-driven approach, we bridge cultural gaps, open doors to qualified partners and ensure our clients grow internationally with sustainable, well-informed strategies.
We work with organisations at different stages of international development involving Spain and/or the United Kingdom.
Our approach reflects the reality that:
-
readiness varies,
-
decisions take time,
-
and clarity often emerges gradually.
We provide structured support without pressure to act.
Meet the founder
Spain-UK Business Desk and International Club BUSINESS DESK were founded by Pilar Bazan, whose extensive experience in international business development, cross-cultural communication and strategic relationship-building forms the backbone of the organisation's unique approach.
Pilar has spent years working closely with SMEs, business networks and institutional partners in both Spain and the United Kingdom. With first-hand understanding of the challenges companies face when expanding abroad, Pilar created Spain-UK Business Desk and International Club BUSINESS DESK to offer SMEs something they rarely receive:
-
personalised, senior-level support,
-
warm, high-quality introductions,
-
reliable on-the-ground representation, and
-
a human, trustworthy guide throughout their international journey.
Pilar’s vision is to make internationalisation accessible, realistic and personally enriching for SMEs, by combining strategic rigour with genuine cultural insight and meaningful human connection.
