I love your reference to storytelling. Recommend Bob Garmston, 'The Astonishing Power of Storytelling' as a great book to build on your thinking. Without question, there can be a prejudice in the UK against 'foreign' experience. I think back to my own mindset before and after working in Asia for 12 years and I see how my own understanding totally changed. So I think it's a good idea to try and build bridges in your storytelling between the things you know and the things you see here...you might need to make the connections for people here, who might not see them otherwise. I'll take one example - work ethic. The work ethic that I encountered in Asia was far in excess of anything I've encountered in the UK. So, as an example, telling the story of 'getting the job finished', taking personal pride in doing a good job and serving clients or customers, going the extra mile to make a customer experience positive - all of these things would be good 'bridges' to help UK employers understand that they had an excellent worker on their hands. It might seem obvious but it's not always obvious in this culture.
