Flip Electronics is cementing its position in the EMEA market with the addition of three new sales organisations. The move to expand customer coverage and sales support across the region follows a successful start to the business in 2025.
Abercorn Electronics is headed by the experience pairing of Derek Colquhoun and Derek Sterling, Line One Sales and Obsolescence, was founded by industry veterans Gary Spinks and Phil Ashworth. EOL specialist Steve Bull has also been signed. All three join the team with immediate effect.
The three new sales organisations will report into Nigel Watts, Director of EMEA for Flip who commented: ” I have the pleasure of knowing, working with and alongside the people in these organisations for a very long time and understand exactly what they can add to any business and the support they offer to both customers and suppliers alike. The addition of these organisations to the Flip EMEA organisation is a huge step forward in our strategic plan to expand the customer base across EMEA and provide customer service at exemplary levels. This really is a ground breaking moment.
“This announcement is the first of several we will make in 2026 as we continue to grow and progress our business model across EMEA, these are exciting times for everyone involved. The continued growth in demand and support requests for obsolete and end of life products is obvious for all to see, we are determined to assist customers at every level and provide the services required to fully support their supply chain, project, production, and programme needs. Our involvement in organisations such as the IIOM (International Institute of Obsolescence Management) has clearly demonstrated the need of customers and suppliers alike to have a specialist, focused resource such as Flip Electronics as a global partner.”
Flip Electronics announced Flip EMEA at electronica 2024 in Munich. It completed a global platform alongside the already established Flip Americas, Flip APAC China, and India.
