"I'll be working with the sales and marketing teams to build on the good work that's being done already to grow the business in a structured manner," says May. "There's a really good bunch of people here at Sennheiser. They're all passionate about the product and they have some great customers. That's already clear to me.
"My experience with Philips is with many different commercial channels. It's a good match for what [Sennheiser UK general manager] Phil Massey is looking for in terms of developing the business."
Phil Massey adds: "Peter May is a great addition to the Sennheiser team. I'm looking forward to working closely with him and continuing to increase Sennheiser's market share in all aspects of our business. With Peter's experience and reputation, I'm absolutely confident that that's exactly what will happen. We're delighted to have him here."
