A human-centred approach and special focus on quality and innovation are the means by which Golden A/S raises the bar for Greek and European yachting. “We will launch innovative products and services for the first time in an industry that has already begun to gallop. This time Greece will be the trailblazer,” notes company owner and co-founder Nikos Polykandriotis.
How does Golden AS “go beyond the obvious”, as you mention on your website?
Golden AS dares not only envision but also plan the future; we dare break new ground and invest in people. We analyse the needs -the requirements of both the industry and the clients- and we proceed not only to designing in detail, but also to offering and implementing innovative quality services and products. Systematically and with the help of technology Golden AS paves the way for the new yachting industry that has been growing in Greece in recent years. We invest in new technologies and have created a team that studies and plans the company’s next tech steps in the world of yachting. The first steps have already been set and we’re now at the stage of implementation.
After a 32-year course and more than 200 completed projects, what do you consider to be the company’s strong point today?
What my father started 32 years ago has taken the form we had planned, while always showing respect for people, clients and partners. Golden AS invests in PEOPLE and KNOWHOW. The highly qualified and experienced technical experts combined with the knowhow that the company has acquired over more than thirty years of operation are not just the strong card, but also the trademark of our company. Our clients have now realised that Golden AS is a pioneering and creative company which guarantees customer care services even after the delivery of each project. We have always been on the leading edge, no matter how difficult this may have been during times of recession and industry stagnation.
What are the company’s steadfast and nonnegotiable pillars of development?
People – Continuous Technological Advancement – Quality – Efficiency. Golden AS invests in its human resources in ways that few Greek companies can and dare to. We develop dynamically through people who are eager to work and advance; people who have ideas and opinions that help us grow and prosper together as a family. We invest in the training of our people so as to be able to hold our ground in an industry that is developing and is expected to rocket in Greece in the coming years. We have never negotiated quality in the name of cost and our customers – our partners – stay with us because they know they will get the best quality technological result at the best possible cost in the shortest possible time.
