Laurie Spicer
Head of US ExpansionWith over 25 years of experience doing business in North American, European, and Asian markets, including seven years as an International Trade Advisor with a primary focus on the complexity of the US market, Laurie has broad experience supporting her clients’ commercial success in the US.  She is an American who has resided in the UK for over 30 years.
Foothold America was instrumental in helping my UK company employ field applications salespeople in the US without having to set up a US subsidiary, which is the usual route for foreign companies. Foothold America facilitates this by employing the people we have chosen and handling all the employment, terms, salaries, visas, taxes, social costs, etc. They then billed us monthly for these costs, plus a reasonable service charge. As a result, we were able to get going very quickly with our own people in the USA and at a much lower cost base.
UK, Biotech Company
Managing DirectorWe started US expansion on our own, and soon after, we stumbled over employee benefits, leaving our ex-pat staff and families without health insurance. It was a huge risk for them and our company. Foothold America came in and got us sorted. They’ve been taking care of us ever since.’
UK, Software Company
Sr. People PartnerWe always thought we needed to have our first US hire in New York. After we consulted with Foothold America and, following their expertise, we actually hired our first employee in North Carolina – at a cheaper cost of the salary offered and reduced recruitment costs.
