UK - Sixty82 has announced the opening of its new UK office at Production Park in Wakefield - the dynamic hub for live events, touring, and production industries.
Having successfully served the UK market for years via distribution, Sixty82 is now taking the next step in its growth by establishing a full presence in the country to further enhance the already strong product support, improve lead-times and listen even more closely to its UK customers.
The UK office will be led by managing director Tom Richter, who brings a wealth of experience from his time as UK head of integration at TAIT. Working alongside him is technical director Johnny Marshall, a well-known and highly respected figure in the trussing and staging industry.
“Sixty82 has always believed in being where our customers are,” said Tom Richter. “With our new office and extensive local stock, we’re now ready to respond more rapidly and support the UK market with even greater flexibility. We’re thrilled to connect and collaborate with the many talented people and companies in the industry, and together, we aim to deliver innovative and cutting-edge solutions.”
Fokko Smeding, CEO of Sixty82, commented: “The UK market is extremely important to us, and opening our own office and warehouse at Production Park demonstrates our commitment to further enhancing our service levels. By establishing a direct presence here, we can deliver exceptional customer support, quicker turnaround times, and develop closer, stronger relationships within the industry.
“AC-ET, our valued distributor, will continue to maintain a very important role as a key sales partner, further enhancing the service and availability levels of Sixty82 in the UK. Their extensive sales network, excellent technical support, and longstanding relationships with customers across various sectors make them an essential asset to our continued success and growth in the region.”
With significant stock levels on site at Production Park, Sixty82 UK is equipped to meet the fast-paced demands of projects across the entertainment sector.
Sixty82 UK will also be exhibiting for the first time at PLASA Focus Leeds on 13 & 14 May at Stand N-D18, providing a great opportunity to showcase its products and engage directly with industry professionals.
