2016 was a big year for us, with expansion happening across the UK market - and this year we've identified the need to grow further into Europe. This month (January 2017) will see us open our first ever European office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

"We identified the need to service our existing clients and grow our portfolio across the EMEA, where better to do this than Amsterdam, where many companies European head offices are located?" says Miles Lovegrove, Fluid's Managing Director. And he's right - expanding into Europe will give us the opportunity to serve our existing clients even better, whilst building new relationships all across Europe.
We're glad to announce that we're welcoming Gert-Jan Sentel as a Sales Director, heading up our Amsterdam office. With a massive 22 years of experience in the Branded Merchandise Industry, he's worked with some of the biggest companies in the Industrial and FMCG sectors. This all adds up to him being the perfect front-man to our expansion.

Miles continues, "Our expansion plans ensure we're perfectly placed for our EMEA clients and run alongside our continual commitment to exceptional customer service. We're very excited about the coming year!"
This year, we're also proud to have been awarded the prestigious Supplier of the Year Award from Sourcing City. This was voted by our industry suppliers in recognition of quality of service, business ethics and "being a pleasure to do business with". Bring on the rest of 2017!
