You can learn more about Access to China.

Access to China, established in May 2002, enables overseas businesses to develop and expand trading in the Chinese market.

Historically, our core IT business development and services have been trading in China for over 20 years. In our Chinese trading, we have manufactured, imported, and exported over 75 products for Avon. Additionally, our group of companies owns and operates hotels and retail shops. Our company has an excellent understanding of trading in China.

Access to China brings together overseas businesses and the Chinese market.

Being an IT-based business, we have access to a Data Centre and can provide services to support your technical needs as your business develops in China. We have been operating data centre services since 1997, before the establishment of Access to China in 2002. We were one of the first businesses to have its website published in China.

Our staff have been running a Chinese business for over 30 years.

Access to China is part of a group of companies operating in China and the UK. Our companies in China are entirely Chinese-owned businesses (not overseas companies operating in China), which enables us to operate without some of the local restrictions placed on overseas companies in China.

Our companies employ 35 people directly in China and have over 75 people working in our associated companies across multiple provinces. Our CEO, Peter Heather, has over 40 years of experience in IT operations and development. During this time, Peter has worked for BA, Dixons, and Forte, developing, rolling out and running systems worldwide. Peter and the company team have deployed systems in China for over 10 years, utilising their comprehensive understanding of local services and issues.
