Through its alliance with the Swainsboro/Emanuel County Joint Development Authorities, The APH Group will be assisting UK companies setting up U.S. operations in hub of South Georgia.
Savannah, GA (PRWEB) January 31, 2005 -- The APH Group is pleased to announce its agreement with the Swainsboro/Emanuel County, Georgia Joint Development Authorities as its exclusive site consultant for companies in the United Kingdom considering entering the U.S. market.
The APH Group's CEO, Susan Brod, in announcing this alliance says "While working with overseas companies, The APH Group has identified a need for companies to have more than a sales presence in the United States. They may require warehousing facilities, value-added assembly or complete manufacturing facilities. For an overseas manufacturer wanting to enter the North American market, the Swainsboro/Emanuel County Economic Development Authorities offers compelling reasons to develop their U.S. presence in Emanuel County, Georgia.
They can put together a very attractive package for companies that may include local incentives, tax abatements, free port exemptions, free job training programs and infrastructure financing programs. The Swainsboro/Emanuel County area also offers an attractive, convenient location midway between Savannah, Augusta and Macon, Georgia, and a local college-educated population to meet the needs of business and industry, outstanding educational facilities from pre-school through secondary, a $10 mm airport expansion, five industrial parks, outstanding quality-of-life and a low cost of living. We are very pleased to be able to work with Swainsboro/Emanuel County to assist our clients with developing their U.S. presence in Swainsboro."
Andy Riley, President of the Swainsboro/Emanuel County Joint Development Authorities commented "Our community can offer some compelling reasons to locate a facility here. Now that the APH Group is our partner and exclusive site consultants to the UK, that message is getting out and we are very excited. We have decided to partner with The APH Group because of their ability to provide us the means to access UK and European businesses. They provide us a conduit through which we can jointly communicate the many ways a business location in Emanuel County can benefit their clients and open up the U.S. markets to them.
We just opened the first technology park in rural Georgia. BellSouth announced last week that our community is their first "BellSouth Connected Community". Some of the advantages we offer include an ideal location, just an hour outside of the Port of Savannah and just off an Interstate highway. We have a workforce draw area of 115,000 with over 16 colleges and universities within a 100 mile radius. We qualify for local, state and federal government incentive programs to benefit companies bringing jobs here due to our higher unemployment level and lower over-all income levels.
We value our existing employers here as well and work hard to help them to expand and grow; an employer continues to be valued by us after they locate here. The natural beauty and mild climate we have is another asset we almost take for granted, but visitors always comment on it.
We want companies to come to Swainsboro/Emanuel County and see how beautiful an ideal business location site can be.
The APH Group and Mr. Riley will jointly participate in workshops throughout the United Kingdom in March 2005 to present the possibilities that Swainsboro/Emanuel County, Georgia can offer to overseas companies.
