IN BRIEF dBTech appoints Robert Moore for the UK New area sales manager to handle northern British territories and Ireland
APG has taken on Philippe Pelmelle to foster growth in France and free up resources to aid export success. The French loudspeaker manufacturer has appointed Pelmelle to the position of business development manager. The move is
part of a larger restructuring and
strengthening exercise within APG that began last year with the hiring of Xavier Pion to handle international sales and marketing, and was followed this year with the promotion of Mathieu Delquignes to the position of product manager. Pelmelle’s role will be to
develop APG’s business in France – to increase market share and to put in place a network of APG technical specialists, rental and sales partners that will make this possible. Sales development will be focused on the new generation of APG products, including Uniline, SMX15, DX12, DX15 and TB subs, with particular emphasis on the live
sound market. >
