Business

From the Sperrins to the Middle East

* DEAL: Draperstown firm Sperrin Metal Storage Solutions has announced a sponsorship deal with the Middle East GAA team as it seeks to re-establish business links in the region.

The company supplies lockers, mobile shelving, static shelving, racking and mezzanine floors and sold successfully to the UAE in the 1980s and 1990s through distributors. It has refocused its export marketing strategy for the Middle East in the past two years which it said is proving effective. The company recently installed 1,000 lockers along with mobile shelving in the School of Research, Dubai, and has an ongoing mobile shelving project in Doha, Qatar.
