Representing a German company in the UK can offer something different from a typical sales opportunity. Rather than simply adding another product to an existing portfolio, an agent may have the opportunity to help an established overseas business develop its presence in the UK, build new customer relationships and, in some cases, take responsibility for a much wider territory.
The opportunities can also span very different markets. German companies looking for UK representation through SalesAgents.uk currently include businesses in food, consumer products and specialist manufacturing, with new opportunities added as companies look for experienced agents, representatives and distributors.
SalesAgents.uk regularly works with German companies looking for sales agents in the UK. For agents with relevant industry contacts, UK market knowledge or experience working with international businesses, these opportunities can provide an interesting route to representing established products and manufacturers in a new market.
German products have a track-record of selling well in the UK market and short and well-established trade routes making the logistics easier.

The Market Behind the Opportunities
Germany and the UK already have a substantial commercial relationship. German companies looking for UK representation are therefore entering a market where German goods, businesses and investment already have a significant presence.
The figures below put the scale of that relationship into perspective.
Total trade in goods and services between the UK and Germany reached £152.5 billion in 2025. Germany accounted for around 8% of all UK trade, making it the UK’s second-largest overall trading partner.
The UK imported £89.8 billion of German goods and services in 2025, up 3.5% compared with 2024. That existing flow of products and services demonstrates the scale of German business already reaching British customers.
The stock of German foreign direct investment in the UK stood at £50.2 billion at the end of 2024, an increase of 14.7% from the previous year.
