JP de Vernon has come on board as the sales representative for Africa and started at the company a month ago. He takes over Johnny Scholtz' position who will now handle architectural sales at DWR. Initially JP will have the hardest task, travelling to Africa and dealing with new clients and people he has never met before.
With Dave Whitehouse relocating to the UK, Kevin Stannett joins the team to handle sales in theatres, schools, broadcast, television studios and casinos. "When Dave told me he was leaving DWR and moving back to the UK it broke me," said Duncan. "One evening I phoned Kevin and asked if he would be interested in joining us. I think what is good is that Kevin, a talented lighting designer, has a background to Back of House so he is not trying to sell a product that his not comfortable with. He will also be able to sell knowing the infrastructure behind products.
"For me it's all about the people and having the right people. People I can trust and depend on and people our clients can trust and depend on. That's really what it's all about. It's not about product, this can change, but rather dealing with humans who actually care."
