Of course, this adds to our total solution set of products and the cycle continues.” Peacock steps into the role today,


which coincides with global sales meetings at Rockford headquarters. He said: “It’s apparent that Caldwell’s success is built on listening to the customer, but I’m keen to learn as much as possible from my new sales colleagues before returning to Abu Dhabi and starting work in earnest.” y
