"AMG continues to enjoy significant market growth and the Middle East is a strategic and highly-valuable market for the company. I am delighted that David, with his extensive technical and commercial background and expertise, has joined us. I am convinced that our customers and partners in the Middle East will benefit from his insight and the fact that he is located in Abu Dhabi makes it easy to travel throughout the region for increased support," said Alan Hayes, Founder and MD of AMG Systems.
"AMG offers a unique service to its clients. The direct access to free technical support shows the dedication the company puts into each and every project they've worked with. I have known the company for many years and what particularly attracted me is the fact that in spite of having grown to be one of the companies in its field globally, AMG retains its friendly small company feel, and enjoys an excellent reputation and image. Furthermore, AMG's products are cutting-edge. Outside of that, the company has always enjoyed a reputation for delivering products of high quality. The Middle East is a significant market for AMG's products with many high-profile reference installations and I am looking forward to build on the success for continued business development in the region," David commented.
