In the 1980s, we started producing other equipment, such as rowing machines and multi-gyms. With these, we saw our clients change from mainly private individuals, who wanted equipment for home fitness, to organisations like sports centres, which now account for about 60% of our sales. We also sell to a lot of hotels.
We've recently started working with a sports doctor to design some machine specifically for use in hospitals. We expect to bring these new products out in the early spring.
So far, we've focused on the domestic market, here in Britain, but we intend to start exporting, first to other countries in the European Union. France and Germany are possible candidates.
And last, but certainly not least, you might have seen the recent reports in the local press. You might have read that Platt & Sons is suffering financial difficulties, because we lost an important contract to one of our competitors. I can assure you that there is no truth in the reports. Of course we were sorry to lose the contract, but we are healthier than we have ever been.
上世紀80年代,我們開始生產(chǎn)其他器械,比如劃船機,多用途健身器。這段時間內(nèi)我們的客戶從需要家庭健身的個人轉(zhuǎn)向了機構(gòu),比如健身中心,現(xiàn)在這部分占了我們銷售的60%。我們還向很多酒店銷售。
最近,我們開和一位運動醫(yī)生合作,設(shè)計了一些專供醫(yī)院使用的器材。我們預期初春推出這種新產(chǎn)品。
到目前為止,我們主要面向英國國內(nèi)市場,但是我們也計劃出口,首先出口到歐盟國家,比如法國、德國。
最后同樣重要的一點是,你們可能看到當?shù)匦侣剤蟮勒f普氏父子有限公司陷入財政困境,因為我們一份很重要的合同被競爭對手搶走了。我可以肯定的是,這篇報道是無稽之談。當然我們對失去這份合同表示遺憾,但是我公司現(xiàn)在的情勢是前所未有的好。
