As the English cricket team start training with the hope of winning the Ashes on Australian soil for the first time since 1987, a UK-based event company (GDS International) announced that its newly formed Sydney Office had just smashed through the 3 million mark in sponsorship revenue.
Australia was the only major economy to have avoided a technical recession in 2009, recording only one-quarter of contraction in gross domestic product (GDP) so it was an easy decision for GDS International Chairman Spencer Green to expand operations in Sydney.
GDS International - a world leading event and media company - is reliant on Marketing Spend from the Fortune 1000. Maintaining unrivalled ROI to their clients GDS International has seen double figure growth each year since 2005. "The key has been to diversify and innovate," Jess Dimling VP Product for GDS International said. "We have a young and vibrant workforce that have adapted well in new business verticals and geographic markets."
Boasting over fifty C-level summits this year and eight global conferences GDS International has scheduled to host a further 103 in 2011. An example of one such conference is Australia's leading Digital event iStrategy being held in Sydney on November 24th-25th.
"Australia has significant potential and resources, such continued success mirrors that of GDS International and we feel that GDS International Sydney will be a perfect home for us to hit the Australasia market," said Tyron McGurgan, Director GDS Sydney.
Australia is currently the world's 13th largest economy and has enjoyed 19 years of uninterrupted growth, aided by growing demand for commodities, robust government policies and with the move expansion of international organisations such as GDS International to the country, 2011 is set to be another big year for the wonder from down under.
