People & Places: Biamp Moves on Europe; More AV News from October

Stampede

Stampede announced the integration of its UK and European operations into the DCC Exertis AV Solutions division, effective immediately.  According to Stampede President & CEO Kevin Kelly, the move provides customers of Stampede and Exertis with a greater range of resource, products and support across those regions.

“This decision is all about leveraging the synergies that stem naturally from being an important component of a £14.3 billion revenue, London Stock Exchange listed (LSE) international sales, marketing and support services group that employs 11,000 people in four divisions operating in 17 countries,” explained Kelly.

The UK and European operations of Stampede will be rebranded as Exertis Pro AV Solutions, led by Warren Lewis and supported by Kevin Kelly, Stampede President and CEO. Jody Hutchings, former Stampede Director of European Sales, will lead the UK sales operation reporting to Ian Aitken, Exertis UK Pro AV Director.
