15 November, 2017

Exciting setting

Adrian McGreevy, Beaumanor’s UK managing director, explained: “We want every tradeshow we hold to be an opportunity for our customers and suppliers to meet face-to-face and strengthen relationships. But this year we also really wanted to say thank you with something different; Donington offered an exciting setting for this.”

2017’s exhibition and the latest catalogue sees Beaumanor launch a number of new ranges and exclusive brands. Beaumanor’s product managers, Keith Fisher and Josh Pacey, commented: “Beaumanor has invested heavily in stock, in fact 6000 new product lines have been added. Alongside the various exclusive brands joining our range, for example: GP, Lutian, XHNotion, Fluent and Titan, we are pleased to announce several well-established brands already found in the market such as Gates, MP Filtri and Dicsa. We aim to constantly improve Beaumanor’s offering and continue to provide further opportunities for our customers to grow their business.”

Over the past two years Beaumanor has benefited from over a 20% increase in sales, and attributes this to its continuous improvement in business structure new and existing customer loyalty. Mark Cropper, Beaumanor sales director, explained: “We couldn’t continue to grow and improve without our customers, suppliers and staff’s commitment and willingness to provide the crucial feedback we receive on Beaumanor’s services and products.”
