Amp maker hires familiar face as export sales manager
Roger Williams has rejoined Laney as the amp manufacturer's export sales manager after over three years away at HC Distribution, selling, among other things, Cort Guitars.
The vacancy came about following Steve Yelding's departure to Music Force, where he is overseeing the distributor's work with the Engl brand.
Williams describes himself as 'very much a Laney man', which is probably something of a prerequisite for a role that sees him managing the sales and export of the amp brand to Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa.
In his foirst weeks in the job, he has been meeting up with the company's distributors in Europe and preparing for the Musikmesse in March.
"The Frankfurt show is a very intense one for us," said Williams. "I'll be seeing the Middle easter, African and Eastern European distributors and trying to ramp up business there – when it boils down to it, my job is to make sure the factories have enough to do."
Williams can be contacted by email at this address.
