Having worked in the industry for 16 years as an employer and manager of a dedicated team, Richard knows the difficulties of hiring key specialist staff and has tried most methods available over the years.

After establishing a Professional business unit and formulating a targeted product development and international marketing program, Richard was appointed Director & General Manager of the Celestion Professional Products Division in 1996. Responsible for world-wide sales, marketing, distribution and development activity, this gave Richard a unique insight into the diverse business challenges and methodologies needed by a specialist global technology brand business.

In addition to working with distributors and customers in all parts of the world, Richard has a particularly well developed experience of the US market place and has managed directly a US sales and marketing function from 1995-97.
