Impact Products and Litestructures on track

UK - Following their recent agreement to become master stocking distributor for Litestructures, Impact Products invited staff from the Wakefield-based trussing and staging manufacturer to its headquarters to further strengthen the inter-company relationship with a tour of their extensive facilities and an afternoon on the local go-karting track.

Impact's business manager Keith Williams was joined by Lee Brooks, Litestructures' sales director, in presenting the staff with the mechanics of the new deal, which sees Impact distributing Litestructures' product from stock held in its warehouse.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for both parties" commented Brooks. "Impact is a young and energetic company which has already established itself as a leading trade supplier of professional sound and lighting equipment. The addition of our product to its range effectively offers customers a one-stop shop opportunity for their installations. Impact handling the distribution means we at Litestructures can fully concentrate on what we're best at, namely product development, manufacturing and technical sales support for those special customised projects."

On the karting track, Litestructures' marketing manager Laurie Giraudeau and account manager Pat Mulligan held off the challenge of an Impact team of Keith Williams and Miles Breakwell to gain top spot on the podium by just 0.477 seconds, with the pairing of Lee Brooks (who set the fastest lap time) and Impact's Chantel Hall following in a respectable third.
