Farfield Group Press Releases
17 Mar 2006 - Farfield Recognised as Top Regional Exporter
Passport to Export is UK Trade & Investment’s flagship programme for new exporters. It provides the training, planning and ongoing support a company needs to begin a successful export operation. Under Passport to Export, Farfield established sales capability in all major export markets for its AnaLight® range of analytical instruments, adopting a strategy of assessing and appointing distribution channels in every relevant territory.
The awards were presented at a dinner held at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton and hosted by BBC Television personality Adrian Chiles. Kathryn Chapman, Sales Director at Farfield, and Jo Maltby, Marketing Communications Manager, received the award on behalf of the company.
Dr Simon Carrington, Farfield’s Marketing Director, says: "Although we dominate our domestic market, export sales are obviously essential to long-term growth. Establishing global sales channels is a considerable investment for any company and we are highly appreciative of the support and advice received from the Passport to Export scheme. We are delighted to have been singled out for yet further recognition of our successes and look forward to being part of the continued economic growth of both Manchester and the North West of England as a whole."
