It’s been a very busy week for Vuba!
I joined Harry Iggleden and Alex Ives for our first show in Saudi Arabia with our partners Vuba Middle East. We found the country stunning and very welcoming, with lots of opportunity for our products. We hopefully made a connection with a future long term partner for Saudi Arabia.
I flew from there to join Ellie Platten and her team for our Vuba Stone convention in the USA. Part of a bigger event hosted by our partners Rubber Stone, it was an incredible day. We came to America 2 years ago and I couldn’t have wished for the progress we’ve made. We had over 100 installers present and enjoyed announcing our plans for a new US based Vuba Distribution Centre, and much reduced pricing.
While away I’ve missed our first Vuba charted Bulk Cargo boat coming into our Goole site. I’ll update everyone on the new factory next week. Ashton Nottingham has done an incredible job planning in multiple ships, totalling close to 20,000 Tonnes of product coming into the site. We’re so happy with the support from Associated British Ports throughout this process, and we’re finalising plans to work together even closer in the near future.
In Europe we had record attendance at our Vuba Bulgaria training course. We have a great relationship with the team in Bulgaria and really believe they’ll do very well this year.
Our Easihold BDM Marni Lavinia Esa visited a valued distributor of our Easihold products in Europe to discuss plans for Easihold to enter 1,000’s of new retailers across Europe. We also have some exciting plans for Easihold to be stocked in more locations in the UK.
Not every week is as busy as this one, but it’s becoming more common and I’m so proud of the team. Although I do technically run the whole business, the managers of each part wouldn’t agree! I leave people to work autonomously and I’m amazed by what they are managing to achieve, while I focus on specific projects for the future. And now, that is huge investment in new UK Manufacturing Facilities for Vuba!
