Lighting manager GDS has announced the appointment of GDS engineer Bill Price to the position of business development manager for APAC. Since relocating to the region after the launch of GDS Korea, Price has played an instrumental role in establishing the company’s presence in the Asian market.
As business development manager for APAC, Price will work closely within the existing GDS Asian network, and make plans to visit companies in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
Price said: “The aim of my new role is to increase our presence in Asia by selling and promoting our products and to strengthen relationships with our current distributors and work hard to create new distribution networks in the area too.”
Richard Cuthbert, co-founder of GDS, added: ‘‘I’m very excited to see Bill take on this rewarding role, operating out of our Korean office. As part of our ongoing Asian partnership strategy, Bills work developing the APAC markets will no doubt result in the GDS group helping more customers with solid solutions.”
