Martin Audio has welcomed Peter Codron as the new UK Sales Manager after a successful summer in 2018 when they began reconstructing its sales team.
Codron brings 30 years of audio industry knowledge and experience with professional A/V production companies, recording studios, live music events, theatrical productions, exhibitions and conferences. During this time he has worked in pro audio sales, audio system design, audio editing and engineering and IT networking.
Particularly strong on sales, Codron took over the Sales Manager’s role at SSE Audio Group in 2014, based at its Park Royal facility. “While I was happy at SSE, after 14 years of working in sales at dealer level I wanted a fresh challenge. When Martin Audio Managing Director, Dom Harter approached me before this year’s Open Days the opportunity was too good to miss. The way the role was outlined to me was exactly what I wanted to do.”
Codron said: “Martin Audio has developed a large and exciting portfolio, and so my priority will be to work with the UK dealer network to maximise our growth opportunity while making sure that the brand is being represented in a positive way. At the same time, my background in rental is very strong and that’s an area I can also tap into.”
Codron will report to the recently promoted Brad Watson, International Sales Director. Watson commented: “We are delighted that Peter has joined us. His experience will be invaluable as we plan and execute our next wave of growth. His attention to detail, his belief in a brand ethos and his enthusiastic nature makes him a perfect fit for the Martin Audio family.”
