After an intensive export expansion drive, Chelsom has achieved global sales coverage by vastly increasing its agent network in the USA, Middle East and Europe. The company also has a manned office in Hong Kong to accommodate clients requiring direct shipments from the Far East.The USA network now numbers 25 agents covering every state. Each agent is well established in the American design and hospitality marketplace and all have been fully trained in the Chelsom lighting collection. Chelsom has also appointed a head of marine sales in the USA sales to build on the success in the cruise marketplace.
Vanessa Soley Peters, who has almost 20 years experience with Chelsom, is now permanently based in Dubai to develop the Middle East market, supported by distributors across the region.
In Europe, project sales are increasing steadily after securing exclusive agents to cover Sweden, Denmark, Bulgaria, Finland and Spain. Plans are in place to widen the European sales network over the coming months.
Said Director Will Chelsom, “Looking ahead into 2013, I’m confident that all the foundations and hard work we have put in place during 2012 will continue to bear fruit. We now have excellent Chelsom coverage across the globe to offer our client base the best possible services.
“We have UL approval on all items in the collection which opens up new markets for us, and we are already getting specified on many American and Middle Eastern lighting schemes. It’s a very exciting time for Chelsom.”
