Paul Fielder appointed GLP UK's new key account manager
Germany - GLP UK has appointed the experienced Paul Fielder as its new key account manager.
Coming from a theatre lighting background, he was previously technical sales consultant at Stage Electrics after leaving the Royal Opera House where he was lighting systems assistant manager. He also worked in a series of London theatres for the Really Useful Group, gaining much experience in various technical lighting roles.
The move to GLP will enable Paul to broaden his scope. "Part of my remit is to expand my reach from London, which was my primary interest at Stage Electrics, to nationwide and also to take me further from technical theatre into the concert touring rental market," he says.
Paul is already familiar with both GLP's rapidly expanding product range and the personnel at GLP UK. "I have known Simon, Kerry and Greg for some time as a customer, so although I hadn't been looking to move, when this offer came up it was too good to turn down," he explains. "GLP has an excellent product range, and it's a lovely team to be joining."
He adds that his main focus will be on supporting the existing customer base: "It's about making sure they are happy, while at the same time I will be engaging in business development."

Carl-Johan brings great expertise, a huge enthusiasm for our industry and a brilliant track record of foresight and success, all of which will have positive impact on Astera going forward and we look forward to a long and productive relationship."

UK - Martin Audio has announced the promotion of sales administrator Suraj Vadher to the role of EMEA sales executive.
A guitarist for over 15 years, and with background in music production, studio recording, mixing and mastering (from his time at Birmingham City University), Suraj also gained wide experience in MI while working for the highly reputable Andertons Music Co in Guildford.
Moving to Buckinghamshire a couple of years ago to take up his role at Martin Audio, the personable Suraj quickly became a popular figure with customers, helping to manage the day-to-day sales orders and delivery schedule while providing timely updates to any changes.
Naturally ambitious, Suraj saw an opportunity for a more face-to-face sales role when Richard Van Nairn left his post.
