Codan expands in Dubai

Codan Radio Communications has announced a strategic manoeuvre to grow its sales and customer service team in its Dubai office, a decision that should see a strengthening of its operations for its Middle East, Africa and Central Asia customer base.

The Codan HF radios used in these regions are often the communication lifelines for humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, government agencies and military/security operations.

Because of this, it was deemed critical by Codan to have a large group of experts available to provide long-range communications solutions to customers at a quick response rate.

The company will add two regional sales managers, as well as field support personnel, to provide rapid and quality support for field deployments and systems integration.

“Our Dubai office is geographically located in the best position to provide customer service in these regions,” said Paul Sangster, vice president of sales and business development.

“It has the right time zone and direct travel routes to ensure we are best able to respond to customers and provide the highest level of service and support.”

Karim Kherouf from RadioTrans, a Codan dealer, will join the team as one of the regional sales managers, leading the Codan HF solutions sales for West Africa, while Uwe Niske will join the team from SMD Telecommunications and focus on HF solutions in East and South Africa.

Dean Booker, who has held various sales and support roles at Codan, has been promoted to director global training and customer service and will manage and coordinate a global training and customer service team, which will include three new team members.
