Founded five years ago in Gwent, Oasis Communication Services Ltd supplies telecommunications products and services, offering products such as mobile phones, two-way radios, photocopiers and fax machines to the commercial and consumer markets. The company currently operates from eleven offices in Wales with its headquarters being located in Abergavenny. The founder and current managing director is Damian Cole, a local entrepreneur who quickly realised the marketing potential of mobile communications. The entrepreneurial flair of the managing director is supported by an experienced Sales Director, Dean Williams (who has considerable experience of sales management in the communications industry) and Stephen Phillips, the company’s area manager. The development of Oasis Communication Services Ltd has been entirely self-financed and profits have been constantly re-invested in order to sustain growth. The firm has also utilised support from local support agencies and is committed to maintaining its position as Wales’ premier independent communications company. Oasis Communication Services Ltd is continuing to pursue expansion strategies and forecasts already suggest that sales revenue for 1999 will exceed £1 million. Oasis Communications sees itself as an adventurous organisation and has just entered into an agreement to place mobile phone shops at university campuses nationally, which should double the size of the business to about 40 people by September. Oasis is actively seeking new sales recruits as part of expansion plans and would be glad to hear from anyone with relevant experience. Oasis does not have an allegiance to any one telecommunications network and is expected to be thorn in the side of many larger operators and could be a clever acquisition for one of the major players in the market.
