About Keystone export research scandinavian uk markets

Keystone is committed to providing focused, direct and affordable international consultancy services: helping UK companies expand into Scandinavia, and Swedish companies enter the UK market. 

We undertake targeted market research according to the specific needs of each client, building a bespoke package.

 Finding information on prospective customers, distributors, cooperation partners, and competitors, are often key elements in our projects.

We also assist with making contact on behalf of clients, gauging potential interest, and arranging introductory meetings. 

Other services provided include proofreading and translation services in English & Swedish.

For our Swedish clients, a combined English language training/team-building package is  also offered, on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Malta.

Keystone is run by British/Swedish husband and wife team Richard & Emelie Whale. We thrive on making successful connections between Scandinavian and UK companies!

Born in England, Richard is a Cambridge University graduate, who has worked in Sweden, Malta and the UK.

Since 2014, Richard has worked on consultancy projects with Finnish SMEs - across many different industries (including construction, energy, healthcare, IT, manufacturing, marine & offshore), develop their operations in the Scandinavian and UK markets.

Richard launched Keystone in 2024, as a new, dedicated venture, to build on this knowledge and experience, with a vision to forge and build new business connections between British and Swedish SMEs.
