The Mosel recently played host to the Gantry Railing 2013 Sales Conference, with a 2 day event at Erden, a beautiful municipality situated on Mosel’s right bank.

Bringing together distributors and partners from across Europe, the conference was a superb platform to launch new technical developments and ensure the continued sharing of best practice and sales support.

Speaking of the event Malcolm Trigg, Managing Director said “It was a super conference and I would like to extend my thanks to all who came along and took part. I would especially like to thank Rebecca Lloyd of Union Railtrack who travelled from Australia to meet with the European representatives. Whilst we have systems in place to maintain constant dialogue with our partners across the globe, nothing beats face to face interaction and the value that this delivers.

It was also my pleasure to introduce Jon Sojo Arana of Auxema Stemmann to the conference as our new partner in cable trench cover systems. Jon gave an outstanding presentation which everyone felt to be invaluable.”

Such was the success of Gantry Railings attendance at TOC 2013, the stand has already been reserved for next year’s event. TOC Container Supply Chain Europe is the global port-centric container supply chain event and is marketed as ‘the definitive meeting place for the world’s shipping, port and terminals industries’.

This year’s event saw the Gantry team exhibit with more than 160 other organisations to attract the 4500 attendees who came to the event over the course of its 3 days. With a reported visitor increase of 56% on 2012 numbers, the event proved itself to be pivotal in meeting new and existing clients from Europe and beyond.

The team are looking forward to the 2014 event which will take place in June at ExCel in London.

Gantrail recently announced the acquisition of larger premises in Dubai. This comes as a direct response to the growing number of awarded projects that the team have in place, and underlines the firm commitment that the company has to the very highest levels of ‘on-the-ground’ customer support and service.

Speaking of the office relocation Managing Director, Malcolm Trigg said “This is a real milestone in our development as a business and the very positive outlook we have for development and growth across this particular market. Having had a permanent presence in Dubai for 14 years already, this move is a significant step forward and drives our plans for growth.”

The extension of Gantry Railings presence in the market is supported by a number of new appointments and team moves. Robert Lyons has recently joined the organisation to take the role of Project Manager for the Middle East. Roberts’ key role initially will be to head up the new DP World CT3 Project.

Robert will support the existing team which comprises Jean-Claude Engelbert who has led the sales team for the last two years and K V Radhakrishnan who joined in 2000. The overall operation is further supported by Aquino and Asharaf who recently joined the Site team.

Due to the high volume of business that Gantry Railing is currently experiencing further temporary support has been provided from the UK. Alan Hood, Health and Safety & Site Manager has played a pivotal role between major contracts in the UK and Dubai. Karl Knapman and Kevin Reed, have also provided a major help for the past 8 months during the EMAL Phase 2 Project and are expected to remain in Dubai for the coming months.
