How we work

It’s our in-depth knowledge of the industry and the outcomes you’re looking for that enables us to design and deliver inflight products with the right blend of creativity and pragmatism. This is how we help you source and develop the products you need.

Listen

We do more than meet with you. We actually listen to what you want to achieve. We don’t have standard products or solutions. Just a genuine desire to use our expertise to deliver the outcomes you want. You will always deal with Global C’s directors because we understand you need answers – not intermediaries.

Design

There’s no point designing something that fails on functionality and cost effectiveness. Of course price matters but not at the sacrifice of durability and function! When designing a new product for you, we consider your:

  • Brand aspirations
  • Durability
  • Weight
  • Size
  • Function
  • Budget parameters

Then we design it especially for you.

Prototype

Good design is one thing but there’s nothing like seeing the real thing for yourself. Before the design is finalised, you’ll receive a mock-up or sample so you can touch it, inspect it and check it. That includes everything from logo placement and feel, to the weight, thickness and size.

Manufacture

The Global C management team have close relationships with all our production partners. But it’s not a set and forget process. We supervise the manufacturing process to ensure the outcomes we designed together are actually achieved.

Quality

Because quality is important to you, it’s important to us. We have a rigorous and systematic QA process from manufacture to delivery to ensure every product meets the quality standards you expect. As a Sedex member, we provide transparent audits of our manufacturing partners’ CSR performance.

 

Deliver

We have developed a comprehensive global supply chain to ensure we can supply products wherever you need them.
