New promotion announced as business model grows

Yamaha Music UK Ltd. has announced that Karl Christmas has been promoted to the position of deputy general manager.

Alongside divisional director Ricci Hodgson, Christmas will now be responsible for the overall coordination and management of UK sales and marketing operations. He will also oversee the continued drive into new sectors, specifically the install systems markets.

Christmas’ promotion is a response to the continued success of Yamaha's UK Commercial Audio team.

Christmas is one of the longest serving members of the UK Commercial Audio team and previously held the position of CA marketing manager. He is credited for some of the company’s most significant product launches and marketing success. With a range of upcoming pan-European initiatives, Christmas will now lead a growing team and be an integral part of the new plans.

"We have a very strong and dedicated team, and I'm very much looking forward to driving forward our exciting programme as our product range and solutions portfolio expands, ” Christmas stated.

Ricci Hodgson commented: "Karl's promotion is a very important element of our ambitious plans for the future. As our business model grows way beyond mixing consoles into new areas, it's vital we have the right people in place to offer dealers and end users an excellence of service that will continue to distinguish Yamaha from our competitors. This is a people business and the quality of our team is now becoming a significant and distinguishing factor in our business growth."
