Galpeg Associates on target to generate more than £1.25m turnover in 2013
The promotional merchandise distributors who have joined the successful Galpeg Associate programme are on course to generate a combined annual turnover in excess of £1.25 million by the end of 2013.
Galpeg, one of the UK’s longest established distributors of branded and non-branded promotional items, launched the Associate programme last year to support new and existing promotional merchandise distributors running their own businesses. It has proven highly successful since its inception. While the programme currently has 6 Associates, more business owners are expected to join the programme over the coming 12 months as it continues to gather interest and momentum.
Richard Andrews was one of the first entrepreneurs to see the potential in the new Galpeg Associate programme, having worked in the promotional merchandise industry for more than 11 years in a senior capacity. Now he has successfully launched Promotional Works, based in St Albans, with the full support and backing of Galpeg.
As he heads towards the end of his first year in business, Richard commented: “Promotional Works has had a fantastic year thanks to a lot of hard work and support from a diverse range of clients, suppliers and the great team at Galpeg. It's a good position to build on for the next year. I look forward to delivering more innovative promotional ideas for my existing and expanding customer base.”
Paul Green, managing director of Galpeg, said: “We knew that the experience, business acumen and sales skills of the Associates combined with our back office and support services would enable them to make an immediate impact and be successful in their individual ventures. But this start has exceeded our hopes.”
“Based on sales and growth since they launched, prospects for the year ahead are very good. That is down to the sheer hard work, determination and effort being made by the Associates.”
Alongside the new Associate programme Galpeg also extended its offering by launching a full function high end support service to existing business owners.
