ADS Toulouse has played a crucial role in supporting the growth and development of the ASG Group. Through their efforts, we have been introduced to new customers and have significantly increased our exposure, particularly within Airbus in Toulouse. Having a base in the city has proven invaluable, allowing us to organise meetings more efficiently and providing customers with the reassurance that we are always nearby should they require our support. The team in Toulouse consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and helpfulness, which has greatly strengthened our relationships and enhanced the Group’s reputation in the region.
