Source Distribution Announces Expansion for 2008
In just one year, Source has become a dominant force in the UK distribution of music and audio production technology with a portfolio that already includes Røde microphones, Universal Audio hardware and software, PreSonus music production tools, Lynx soundcards and converters and Sonnox plug-ins.
At a special lunch for 50 key press and dealers at the world famous Ivy Restaurant in central London, Source announced a major program of expansion for 2008, coinciding with its recent appointment as exclusive UK distributor of Genelec professional monitoring systems.
In January, Source takes up residence in new, 3000 square foot premises in northwest London. The building combines offices, warehousing, technical support and product demonstration areas, providing Source with the room and facilities to accommodate a growth in both personnel and product lines.
The first of a series of new staff appointments, Steve Fisher joins the company as its dedicated Genelec Product Specialist – with responsibilities for providing technical support to resellers and end users, performing Genelec product demos, providing dealer training and offering advice on speaker placement, room set-up and acoustic treatment. With a background in both architecture and sound recording, Fisher has worked extensively with Genelec over the past seven years, receiving extensive training at the company headquarters in Finland.
Further appointments to be made in the coming weeks include a new technical support specialist to be based at Source HQ – providing assistance online and on the phone to dealers and end users alike – and a northern regional sales manager. The latter position will involve taking responsibility for dealer sales responsibilities in the north of England and Scotland, allowing MI sales manager Chris Hawkins to focus entirely on the Southern region.
With Tony Musgrove continuing to manage Source¹s pro music and broadcast customers this will give Source an extremely powerful and experienced on-the-road sales team.
Commenting on the expansion, Source director of distributed brands Howard Jones says: “Source’s first year has been absolutely phenomenal and we’re delighted to have attracted such a strong product line up, and to have received such positive feedback from our customers. We¹re determined to set a new standard in audio technology distribution, and this expansion of our staff and facilities gives us the platform we need to realise our goals in the areas of dealer support, technical support, marketing and inventory supply.”
