Debbie Simms

Category Manager Retail Audio EMEA @ Audio-Technica

About

With over 30 years of experience in Consumer Electronics, I have held many senior sales and training roles. A Sales Manager for Independent Retailers at Path Products Ltd., known for the IXOS brand, I have considerable knowledge of the specialist AV cables and continued with this when I moved to BBG Distribution as a further experienced addition to the existing team. Recent years have been spent dealing with Audio Electronic distribution in the UK market and with this experience I took a role with Audio Technica Ltd. I led the retail sales team in the UK when they took up direct supply from BBG Distribution. I am the Category Manager for our retail products in Europe working with established teams across the globe to help develop and select a wealth of successful products within the retail sector to compliment their already successful professional business.
