Patton Commented: "GDS are an incredibly forward-thinking company with great people and great products. I am delighted to be joining the team and very much look forward to supporting A.C.T Lighting who are doing a great job of promoting the GDS brand in the US. As demand grows it is important that we support them with everything they need and I will be liaising closely with the whole team to ensure we do just that."
Matt Lloyd, managing director of GDS, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Chris to the GDS team and he will be an invaluable asset to the brand, with Chris's knowledge of the industry and ability to adapt to international markets he is the perfect individual to represent GDS in both North America, working closely with our North American Distributor ACT Lighting, and in South America, creating new market opportunities for the company. GDS have been investing in the US market for several years and with ACT appointing Bill Groener and GDS appointing Chris Patton, this partnership will continue to grow demand for GDS product and ACT's excellent service."
