As a musician and a lover of all types of music from classical to dance and everything in between, I have been very fortunate to make a lifelong career so far in the music industry as a performer, a producer / song writer, a DJ as well as a salesman of the equipment we all adore. Throughout this journey I have been surrounded by “the sound”, and “the systems” that deliver our art to the crowds”, says Richard Ward, “
When we pour our heart and soul into our creations and performances, we ask that the PA system delivers the music to the audience in exactly the way we intended with clarity and detail. As I move into this next phase of my career, I am so pleased to announce that I am working with a brand that has been a cornerstone of the industry and that I deeply admire. dBTechnologies. Representing dB Technologies in the UK and Ireland as Director of Sales, working with Chris Walton in the UK and reporting to Gabriele Ferri and Flavio Malpighi who are based at dB HQ in Italy, I am looking forward to learning new skills and knowledge (Yes, we should never stop learning), and collaborating to push the brand even further. With an exciting roadmap and an excellent team, I am incredibly proud to have the opportunity to drive the business forward in this territory.”
