Japanese expansion for LightWork Design

SHEFFIELD, UK - 1 October 2001 - LightWork Design, the world's leading supplier of quality advanced computer graphics software for rendering, simulation and visualisation solutions, today announced the opening of a Japanese office as part of its plan to grow the company's business in the region.

Guest of honour at the official opening ceremony, held in front of representatives from over 60 Japanese companies, was Sir Stephen Gomersall, the British Ambassador to Japan. Also present was a large delegation of LightWork Design staff from the UK along with the company's new Representative Officer for Japan, Mr. Yuji Nakajima, who recently joined the company bringing with him more than 30 years experience of Japanese and International business development.

The ceremony itself was conducted along traditional Japanese lines and included the ancient ritual of Kagamiwari, where a barrel of Sake, a rice-wine, was broken open.

The ceremonial opening of the sake cask at Sheffield-based LightWork Design's new office in Japan, hoped to bring blessings of health, happiness and prosperity to the company.

Breaking the barrel are, from left, Yuji Nakajima, the Japanese Representative Officer for LightWork Design, Sir Stephen Gomersall, the British Ambassador to Japan and Dr. Gordon Oliver, the LightWork Design CEO.

The new office is located in the British Industry Centre in Yokohama, part of the Greater Tokyo area, an ideal location from which to extend the company's business in Japan.

Dr. Gordon Oliver, Managing Director of LightWork Design, commented, "We have opened our own office in Japan because we are confident in and committed to the Japanese market. The office and our own Japanese staff provide us with an excellent base from which to grow our business in this vitally important territory."

Since gaining their first Japanese client in 1994, LightWork Design now boasts Honda and Toyota amongst its significant customer base in the country. Through the new local presence, the company will be well placed to build on this figure and improve the liaison and support required for both current and future customers.
