Even before the company officially opened its doors, a number ofcontracts were already in the pipeline. “The word is spreading fast,”says Burgess. “Not only have we had a significant number of salesenquiries prior to launch we’ve also been approached by a numberof manufacturers who want us to sell their products exclusively. But wewill remain independent, as that’s what gives us the edge and ourclients the best deals.”
The experience of the displayLED team has included the sale,installation, and project management of projects such as the giantcurved screens for Coca-Cola in London’s Piccadilly Circus andCredit Suisse First Boston bank in Frankfurt; major league footballclubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Glasgow Rangers; andrental screens that have toured with artists such as the Rolling Stonesand Genesis, as well as sporting events such as Formula One Grand Prixand the World Athletics Championship in Gothenburg.
