Yamaha Commercial Audio (CA) has assembled a new UK sales team, with well-known Yamaha faces joined by new staff under the direction of Sales & Marketing Director Robert Webster.

Headed by Sales Manager Alex Warren, who was promoted to his new role in September 2017, the team’s collective experience will bolster Yamaha’s UK pre- and post-sales service and support. ‘We have invested in a bigger team and have worked very hard to locate individuals that possess the drive, enthusiasm and technical skills needed to excel in this demanding business environment,’ Warren says. ‘This means we can really deliver what our dealers, users and new customers expect.’

Joining Warren, John Perry (Technical Sales, Commercial Installation Solutions) and Reece Stead (Sales Representative, South East UK) are three key sales and support staff, all of whom have long-term experience with the supply, support and hands-on use of Yamaha CA equipment

Tim Bamber (Sales Representative, North UK and Republic Of Ireland) joined the Yamaha team in April 2017. Hans Metger (Sales Representative, South West UK and Republic Of Ireland), meanwhile, has experience of running an A/V consultancy in his native Costa Rica, while Tom Rundle (Technical Sales, UK and Republic Of Ireland) joins from an A/V company specialising in conferences and corporate events.

The final member of the team is Chris Irvine (Marketing, UK & Republic Of Ireland), a Yamaha UK ‘veteran’ of 15 years. Since 2008 he has been Product Manager for Music Production and Pro Audio, adding the task of heading Yamaha UK’s CA Marketing to his role at the beginning of 2017.

‘With a number of the changes and new members joining, it’s been a big learning experience for us all. However, it’s great to be part of a team brimming with enthusiasm and with the skills and talent to push our business forward together,’ Irvine says. ‘I’ve found the whole experience very inspiring. We are looking forward to exciting times both within the team and with all our business partners throughout the industry.’

‘I feel honoured to be leading Yamaha’s UK CA team,’ Warren adds. ‘The proactive mentality within the team fills me with confidence. We have some great products on the way and equally exciting events in place for our partners in 2018. It’s a new start with, we hope, many good years to follow.’
