Currently managing director, Doyle will become chief executive, DiGiCo (UK) Ltd, whilst senior sales director James Gordon will assume the role of managing director, DiGiCo (UK) Ltd. The remainder of the management team comprises marketing director David Webster and technical director John Stadius.
Doyle's new position will utilize his 40 years of experience, as well as his skills for maintaining and raising company profile, to its maximum potential thus helping to increase top line revenue generation. "I've enjoyed my time as managing director," says Doyle. "But now I want to get back to what I like best and what I'm best at, which is spending more time with distributors and customers. I'll continue to assist with the company's strategic thinking going forward, with my new role letting me contribute a more over-arching approach, unshackled by the minutiae of routine operations."
James Gordon's natural leadership abilities place him perfectly to take on the day-to-day administration and management responsibilities for both the head office in Chessington and factory site in Glenrothes, Scotland, say the company. It will also allow him to bring his global market knowledge, product and sales skills to bear.
"2007 is set to be an amazing year," says Gordon. "DiGiCo will continue to evolve as a company and grow in the marketplace. I am honoured to take on the challenge of being managing director alongside the awesome team we have in place here."
In addition to his current role, David Webster will make full use of his manufacturing and technical background to support and guide the company's manufacturing and technical operations. John Stadius, entering his 29th year of designing and developing products, will have increased responsibility for, amongst other projects, the expansion of DiGiCo connectivity, including SDI and HDI I/O rack modules, which is planned for launch early in 2007.
"It's essential that we have the cutting edge technology and managerial skills in place to continue to meet our customer's expectations so that we remain the engineer's choice," concludes Doyle. "The team at DiGiCo is more than equal to the challenge and I am looking forward to my new role."
