"Mark will visit end users such as lighting designers, dealers, architects and theatres to find out what they need from our products, what we're getting right, and, importantly, what we might be getting wrong," said Mike Goldberg, Selecon's European sales director. "The information will be fed back to our designers and salespeople. It's all part of our continuous drive to maintain the high quality of Selecon products and ensure we develop products people want."
Miller will also play a key part in the upcoming UK Workshops that Selecon is holding around the country, details of which can be found on the Selecon website. Until two years ago, Miller ran his own theatre and entertainment industry supply company, MSL, based at Hawkes Bay on New Zealand's North Island. The 17 years spent running MSL have given him all the right qualifications for his new job. "I was a Selecon dealer for 15 of those years so I've a good knowledge of their range and know from personal experience that they produce a quality product," he commented.
After selling MSL (an 'offer he couldn't refuse') he spent some time attending to family matters and indulging his passion for scuba diving before deciding to come to the UK where his family originated. A meeting with Selecon's MD Jeremy Collins resulted not only in the visit but a job as well. "We're very pleased to have Mark on board. I think it clearly demonstrates Selecon's continued commitment to our clients," concluded Goldberg. Miller will be present on Selecon's stand at the forthcoming ABTT show on 16 and 17 June.
