Why Do Business With AngloEstonians?

There are a lot of reasons:

* Only 2 hour time difference between Estonia’s capital Tallinn and London – Estonians are available in UK working hours
* Healthily cheaper – you can save anywhere between 20-50% on UK costs
* Estonia is part of the EU and all the financial and legal security that implies
* Quality work: the companies promoted here not only work for all the major national brands but also international ones such as: Skype, Coca Cola, HP, Nokia, Shell and many more
* Estonia is also known as E-Estonia because it’s ahead of the curve in many ways: eGovernance, eParking, eVoting and more
* Multilingual workforce
* Gateway to Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Scandinavia (Helsinki is 80 km away from Tallinn and they are sometimes called twin cities)
* Low cost airline connection: competition between easyJet and Estonian Air has made prices very competitive

* AngloEstonian has a native English representative (Robin Gurney) who understands both the UK and Estonian mentalities and working practices. Contact robin@altex.ee

Between the two world wars the UK was Estonia's largest trading partner.30% of Estonian exports headed for blighty. And guess what? The main products.... Bacon and Eggs !!

So we are just renewing the export market but admittedly with a slightly less tasty option..

Estonia in Press

"The capital of Estonia, as it's known, is the most connected city in Europe. There are no Internet cafés, because wireless service is everywhere and mostly free. (Universal Net access is actually guaranteed by Parliament.) WiFi s free on commuter trains, and drivers ay parking fees by text message. Cyberattacks may happen, but the place radiates a switchedon vibe an ease with and saturation of technology, and an abundance of youth."

CNBC European Business: Estonia's IRON MAN

"Tallinn leads the hightech revolution. Barry Mansfield reports on the former Soviet bloc’s
most switchedon nation. Bluemoon is a “code shop” based in Tallinn, Estonia. No one’s heard of it, yet its programmers wrote the socalled fastTrack P2P Stack – a peertopeer communications technology that powers leading filesharing applications such as Kazaa, Grokster and iMesh. nother surprise is that Skype’s chief architect, Ahti Heinla, its former head of engineering and two other senior developers were also Estonian. Today they’ve put their Skype fortune into seven technology plays through seed investment vehicle Ambient Sound Investments. Their holdings range from semiconductor fabrication to remote data collection, sensorbased electronic instruments and epurchasing software."
