As part of their international expansion plan, Goldgenie are looking for new Middle East headquarters in either the United Arab Emirates or Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from where they hope to capture the thriving Middle Eastern luxury market.
Founded by award winning entrepreneur, Laban Roomes, in London in 1995, Goldgenie is the world’s premier gold-plating and customization brand. Their specialist gold plating artisans and technicians can produce a range of different finishes including 24ct. Gold, Antique, Rose Gold, and even Platinum, and their unique technology has earned them an unprecedented reputation as the go-to customization service for luxury cars, gadgets, bathroom accessories, antiques, jewellery and even religious artefacts.
With a number of blue chip organizations, such as HTC, Blackberry, Viacom, Lexus, Aston Martin and Rolls Royce, counted as loyal clients. Goldgenie have recently launched their own collections of luxury items that include Gold, crystal and diamond customized electronics such as the iconic iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry, which have been very popular internationally, amongst many celebrities including Will Smith,
David & Victoria Beckham, Roman Abramovich, Denzel Washington and Kate Moss.
Since gaining investment and support from the BBC Dragon’s Den’s James Caan in 2007, the company has been paving streets with gold around the world through their International Franchise programme and are now preparing to expand into the U.A.E. and K.S.A. Goldgenie are currently seeking motivated business partners to join their existing 14 International Master Franchisers, who can help grow their brand and presence in the region. Their International Master Franchise model gives partners exclusive rights to distribute Goldgenie products and services in their own country. Laban Roomes and the Goldgenie team support franchisees with their expertise and strategic advice to ensure the business is successful.
Even in turbulent economic times, the Gold and Luxury goods market has continued to prosper worldwide and Goldgenie are confident that there is no better time to launch their International Master Franchise in the Gulf. “The Middle East is one of the fastest growing and developing markets in the world economy today and franchising is growing at an astonishing rate of 27 percent annually,” says Roomes.
The company already has an established customer base in the Middle East and of course, their limited edition Gulf States iPhone 5S collection has been met with high demand. Roomes explains, “We already sell a large number of products to our customers in the Middle East and we’ve seen the number of orders increase by up to 40 percent each year. With such a big clientele in the Middle East we felt that now is the right time to offer IMFs in this dynamic, growing region.” This is truly a unique golden opportunity for those who wish to start or expand their own business and enter the fast-growing luxury market, where the reward possibilities are endless.
“You’re only limited by your own imagination,” says Roomes, an active social philanthropist, known for his entrepreneurship mentoring activities as much as his business success. Having developed his business from a local car-part gold-plating service to an emerging global luxury brand, he just may know!
