Shure Distribution UK has announced the promotion of Anthony Short to the position of field sales manager.
In this new role Short will lead the external sales team covering all pro audio sales channels and take direct responsibility for Key B2B wholesale and sub-distribution accounts.
Anthony entered the music industry in 2000 working for Academy in Sound in the Leeds Branch, following a management role in-store Anthony transferred to the Central Office in Mansfield working in a number of roles within the Purchasing Team before taking responsibility for the running of this department in 2003. In late 2004 Sound Control purchased the AOS chain and he worked in a management capacity to facilitate the merging of both operations.

“This is a new role for Shure Distribution and I am excited about the challenges and opportunities it will bring. The sales force at Shure Distribution have a wealth of experience in the market and great enthusiasm for promoting the portfolio of brands we represent and I am looking forward to working with and developing as part of this team” said Short.

His experience combined with the aptitude, personality and vision to develop this role make for a very exciting future for both Shure Distribution UK and our customers.”
