Following Anderson's departure at the end of September, Nexo will close its UK office. All international sales will be centralized through one department at the factory in Paris, under the guidance of Denis Baudier who, after nearly 10 years with the company, will be promoted to sales director. He will head an enhanced team which will be focused on distribution and distributor support issues.
Mick Anderson joined Nexo in 1995, and, since that time, has been a key member of the management team that has doubled the company's turnover, established a profitable subsidiary in the USA, introduced both the Alpha and Geo sound systems, and groomed a distribution network in more than 50 countries. "All the initiatives and programmes that Mick has put in place will continue," says Micky Johnson, who is confident that the restructuring of Nexo will bring considerable benefits to its international partners. "Our distributors will all feel the benefits of centralisation, of having the export sales department next door to the factory and to the dedicated distributor support team."
