Kelland will be responsible for establishing, developing and maintaining EM Acoustics' growing UK business, in particular strengthening the company's dealer network as well as increasing penetration into the rental market.
"We are thrilled to have David come on board with us," says Mike Wheeler, operations director for EM Acoustics. "David has been a firm supporter of EM Acoustics since the beginning - in fact, his company, Kelco, was our very first UK dealer in 2003. We were very fortunate in that David was in a position to join us at the time we were looking for a sales manager - our stars must have been aligned at that time!
"EM Acoustics is growing very quickly and the time is right for us to have a respected industry professional like David to manage and develop our burgeoning UK market. We are certain that he will be an invaluable addition to our team as we continue to grow both within the UK and overseas."
Kelland adds: "I've known the team at EM Acoustics for many years and indeed have worked with their products as a dealer/distributor and freelance sales engineer on many occasions, so I'm delighted to be able to formalize this experience into a clearly defined role and become a badged-up member of the team. The timing was right for all of us to take things to the next level - EM Acoustics has some exciting new products to launch in the very near future, in addition to their established range, and we have some very interesting projects in the pipeline - watch this space."
