Organisational background
TeleAdapt was founded in 19921 by Gordon Brown. The name TeleAdapt is a portmanteau of telephone and adapter, as the company started by providing telephone adapters to business travellers. According to Brown, he was inspired to start the company after spotting a gap in the telecommunications market, and subsequently compiled the first complete list of foreign telephone plugs. The company's headquarters have been located in Watford in Hertfordshire, since 2006. Six months after TeleAdapt's foundation, the company opened its first overseas office in America, and six months later opened another office in Australia. In 1993, TeleAdapt opened its third overseas office in Hong Kong. In 2003 the Dubai office was opened and TeleAdapt now has several offices in the United States, Hong Kong, China, UAE, Korea, and Philippines. In October 2019, TeleAdapt is not operating anymore from the UK and MEA (Dubai Office). The USA and the China offices are active and they keep selling their products worldwide through a large resellers network.
