Promotion for Vicon’s star performer Russell Baker

Vicon Industries has promoted Russell Baker to the newly created role of UK Channel Sales Manager

"We are delighted to appoint Russell to this new role," said Vicon's Sales Director for the UK & Ireland, Richard Allen-Miles. "During the five years he has worked for Vicon he has built an enviable track record of sales success and an equally impressive industry-wide reputation for delivering first class customer service.

Russell's promotion is well deserved. His sales approach exactly matches Vicon's philosophy of delivering high quality video systems backed-up by comprehensive pre and post-sales support.

Vicon has had a very good year in the UK despite the economic situation and we wish to build on this success. We recognise that customers have a choice and we are determined to build strong relationships to ensure customers continue to work with Vicon, project after project and year after year. This move to strengthen our UK sales team is intended to bring us closer to our customers and allow us to offer even higher levels of service and support."

On being promoted into the role, Russell Baker said: "I have worked for Vicon for a long time and am highly motivated by the fact that despite being one of the world's largest CCTV manufacturers, we remain completely focussed on providing the very best levels of customer support. It makes the job of selling Vicon's products and system solutions so much easier and I look forward to taking the message that worked so successfully with my regional customers out to the national security installer base."
