G2 Speech B.V. acquires largest and most successful sales partner Dictation Direct

G2 Speech, the largest Digital Dictation manufacturer in Europe, strengthens it's position by taking over one of the largest and respected dictation companies in London.

G2 Speech has announced that it is making a major investment in the UK market to strengthen its position and achieve its aim to become market leader.

Since entering the UK market two years ago, G2 Speech has been breaking new ground. The company gained huge respect and admiration for the quality of its product. In these two years G2 Speech has acquired a large number of customers in the UK. Joe Murphy: "The demand for our solutions has been enormous. We take this step in order to grow the company rapidly and give enhanced customer service."

G2 Speech has also established an office to support clients in the Northern region of Britain. This will be located just off the M1 at Sheffield and will be managed by the former team of ABM (Audio Business Machines). ABM have had significant experience and success in Digital Dictation in the Northern region over the past 5 years. This enlargement of the personnel capacity means a creation of enormous expertise in the field of speech technology, product knowledge and market knowledge.

This investment in the G2 Speech sales force will allow G2 Speech to be able to develop the British market even better. Thus enabling G2 Speech to offer excellent technical and development support from within the UK.

According to G2 Speech Managing Director Hans de Groot, G2 Speech will now focus its efforts by going directly to the market, while still supporting a select amount of Sales Partners.
