As the world’s  fifth largest suppliers of security products, Britain has sent trade delegations to Botswana, Kenya, Angola and Nigeria selling their cutting edge technology and services.
This is the first time the companies have come to South Africa – although some already have local distribution partners for products safeguarding borders, property and personnel.
Last year, Britain sold R75 billion worth of security services and products around the world.
The United Kingdom is a major arms supplier, selling R200 billion worth of weaponry around the world every year.
