SIXTY82 announces the opening of its new office in the United Kingdom at Production Park, the dynamic hub for live events, touring and production.
Having successfully served the British market for years through distributors, SIXTY82 now takes the next step in its growth by establishing a direct presence in the country to further enhance its strong product support, reduce lead times and engage more closely with its UK customers.
The UK office will be led by Managing Director Tom Richter, who brings extensive experience from his role as UK Head of Integration at TAIT. He will be joined by Technical Director Johnny Marshall, a well-known and respected figure in the trussing and staging industry, valued for his in-depth knowledge of the SIXTY82 product range and his dedication to customer support.
At SIXTY82, we firmly believe in being where our customers are. With the new office and extensive local stock, we are now ready to respond more quickly and support the UK market with even greater flexibility. We look forward to connecting and collaborating with the many talented individuals and companies in the industry, and together we aspire to deliver innovative, cutting-edge solutions, said Tom Richter.
Fokko Smeding, CEO of SIXTY82, added: “The UK market is of paramount importance to us, and the opening of the office and warehouse at Production Park demonstrates our commitment to further elevating our service levels. By having a direct presence here, we can provide exceptional customer support, shorten response times and forge closer, stronger relationships within the industry”.
AC-ET, its trusted distributor, will continue to play a key role as a sales partner, strengthening SIXTY82’s service and availability levels in the UK. Their extensive sales network, excellent technical support and long-standing customer relationships across various sectors make them an indispensable asset for our continued success and expansion in the region.
SIXTY82 UK will operate from Production Park in Wakefield, a world-class campus at the heart of the UK’s live events industry. With significant on-site stock in situ, SIXTY82 UK is equipped to meet the fast-paced demands of projects across the entertainment sector.
Additionally, SIXTY82 UK is participating for the first time in PLASA Focus Leeds on May 13 and 14 at Stand N-D18, an excellent opportunity to showcase its products and connect directly with industry professionals.
