UK music technology and pro audio distributor Source Distribution has appointed Darren Power as Director of Sales & Marketing.
Power brings proven sales and marketing management experience to the role, and will be responsible for ensuring continued growth of the business. This includes the responsibility of overall strategy and management of its sales, marketing and admin teams, as well as the development of innovative and effective new initiatives to support, enhance and grow the business and its practice.
Joining Source from his role as European Director of Yamaha Music Europe’s Professional Music Division, Power draws on a strong management record, having been responsible for leading pan-European sales and marketing strategic planning, operation, and performance reviews, as well as developing and championing best practices in its sales and marketing teams on a multinational scale.
Power additionally brings many years experience as both Senior Manager and Sales Manager for Yamaha Pro Audio in the UK, fostering extensive connections within the UK dealer network.
‘I am both delighted by and very much looking forward to the prospect of heading up Source Distribution,’ Power says. ‘The opportunity to work for a company with such an entrepreneurial ethos, matched by the fantastic and market leading lines it distributes, is very attractive and exciting,’
Founded in 2007, Source Distribution quickly grew into one of the UK’s most successful music technology distribution companies, combining a strong portfolio of exclusively-distributed brands with a passionate and experienced workforce. Simultaneously to the appointment of Darren Power, Source Distribution also announces a major upgrade of its entire administration and warehousing facilities to new, larger premises in Park Royal London.
‘Darren’s appointment comes at a time when the company is experiencing year-on-year growth,’ says Source Distribution Director, Steve Angel. ‘As we move to a major new facility to accommodate this expansion, Darren brings with him nearly 30 years’ experience of large-scale distribution, sales and marketing to a world-class standard. Darren’s extensive management experience and his passion for this industry, its technology and its people is a huge benefit for Source. We are excited to work with him as we continue to move the business forward.’
