LBS Accessories brings Far East innovation to High Street Electronics Retailers
This step follows an intensive foundation phase during 2007 which saw the company establish an office and warehouse facility in the UK and a permanent office in China, enabling it to seek out and build relationships with innovative manufacturers. Because of this investment LBS Accessories is able to maintain an unusually high level of touch with its Far East partners ensuring continuing high standards and quality control at source, making it a welcome partner for online and high street retailers alike. Managing Director Chris Stennett is certain that the firm has a role to play: “Consumer demand is constantly evolving, creating a huge challenge for retailers. Today that demand is increasingly around mobile lifestyle and entertainment and consumers constantly demanding more choice, more style and new functionality. LBS Accessories is building direct relationships with manufacturers who can immediately deliver differentiated products within existing consumer electronics retail categories.” LBS Accessories selects only those products with predictable supply, low lead times and a full manufacturer’s guarantee. The head of purchasing, John Taylor, actively seeks out fully featured products that are compact and give excellent value for money, and insists on strong product and packaging design values. The agreements he reaches with suppliers are always intended to be long-term and geographically exclusive. John has over 40 years experience of international product purchasing and quality assurance management and is permanently based in China. LBS Accessories is actively expanding its executive and operational team to include senior level marketing, key account management, supply chain management and after-sales support. Chris Stennett has maintained a keen focus on consumer electronics and related emerging technologies throughout his professional life. He holds an MBA and a BEng in computing and electronic engineering and has over a decade of international experience in enterprise software sales and business consulting. ENDS |
