UK - Martin Audio has strengthened its technical resource with the appointment of Ben Todd as senior applications specialist. The role will also encompass opportunities to intersect with sister brands such as Optimal Audio and TiMax, as the wider Focusrite Group Audio Reproduction division gains further ground with coordinated solutions becoming increasingly prevalent in the installation sector.
He arrives following an extensive career with Harman Pro, where he was senior application engineer for EMEA, followed by a brief period at Holoplot. Prior to that Todd was with UK distributor Sound Technology for nine years – the last six of which he spent leading their technical team.
The skills learnt in complex technical integration will stand him in good stead for his new role, as Martin Audio strives to push further into the integration market with its complementary, cutting-edge brands. “We want to grow organically, focusing further on supporting our clients to deliver premium integration projects, and see where that positions us in a few years’ time.”
Ben Todd is relishing the opportunity to focus on project design, training and market strategy in the installation sector.
He noted the strength of the technical team. “The Group is going from strength to strength,” he observed. “As we look across these brands, we know we have something we can leverage as we grow together and put the time and effort in to train and support delivery through our distribution partners and integrators.”
