Our Group sources Apparel, Footwear and Accessory products for our brands Fila, Russell Athletic, Ocean Pacific and Starter from Asia. CEF has made a real difference to our buying from China and has grown our relationship with our main suppliers. Since CEF's involvement we have moved away from cumbersome and expensive Letters of Credit, to open account, extended payment terms with our suppliers. CEF's documentary process is simple, swift and easier to manage. The knowledge and support from the China and UK staff of CEF are second to none. To us it is important that we deal with nice and efficient people that make our lives easier. We have no hesistation in recommending CEF to any company in any sector who source from China.

Working with CEF has allowed us to move away from relying on our bank revolving credit as well as our own liquidity to finance purchases from China, towards having our major Chinese supplier participate significantly in export financing. This facility has allowed for the open account trading terms required by our growing business. Additionally, the cash flow benefits it brings to our supplier provide us with the comfort that our supplier will be well place to meet our needs. CEF have been professional and supportive throughout our relationship. With teams and expertise in both the US and China, they have built very good relationships with both our supplier and ourselves. We would recommend CEF to any Western business looking to trade with China.

We sell to a domestic customer base that historically does not do direct importing and where the Chinese mills do not extend credit terms. The CEF financing has allowed our business to grow by acting as our financing arm and extending payment terms to our customers. In a volatile and mostly escalating price market, we have been able to grow our business exponentially in a short period of time.
