People & Passion

Its an exciting time for growth at GDS and as well as tangible developments in our product selection, we’re also working on our people and company culture. We have new teams in design, support and sales, and have optimised our working space in both our UK and Korea offices, to better reflect the growing needs of the business and our strategy moving forward.

We’ve earned a reputation for innovation, not only in our products and design, but also for our collaborative working environments and application of our extensive expertise. This applies to the way we engage our current and future clients too, so we are implementing a proactive approach that will take any new developments at GDS directly to those that will benefit most from them. Established and prospective partners can expect us to talk through all the features and benefits of our new ranges, right there in the comfort of their own offices, and explain how they will complement their existing lighting plans, and take future projects to new heights.

Even though our teams are so highly specialised, the thread that weaves through them all is unwavering passion. This means a commitment to exceptional customer service, anticipation of clients needs before, during and after a project is completed, and a desire to see GDS excel, whatever it takes.
