CEO Uli Behringer commented, "Over the past two years, Nigel has added tremendous value to the Music Group and I am very proud of his achievements. With Nigel's profound pro experience at Harman, I am convinced he will continue, and accelerate, the growth of the division." Before joining the Music Group, Beaumont was with the Harman Pro Division, being most recently responsible for the management of the European operations of the division, encompassing Soundcraft, Studer and AKG.
Nigel Beaumont commented, "I am very excited and honoured to assume this new role. The last two years have seen a complete rejuvenation of the Midas and Klark Teknik brands and exponential growth. With the US$20m investment in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, the recent US$4m investment in a 24,000sq.ft R&D facility in Manchester, and the massive expansion of the team worldwide to complement the existing exceptional talent, the Pro Division is geared toward cutting edge technology and products."
