FARMINGDALE, NY – U.S. Pro Audio distributor, Group One Ltd., under the direction of President Jack Kelly, has announced it has reached an agreement with UK-based digital console manufacturer DiGiCo to distribute its products within the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The agreement was signed Jan. 14, 2008 and is retroactive beginning Jan. 1, 2008.
“Looking back, the Group One decision seems so obvious, but finding the right man with the drive, passion and motivation for an expanding brand in a growing market was not an easy find,” says DiGiCo Managing Director James Gordon. “From the very first meeting it seemed clear Jack [Kelly] possessed the drive and the experience to make this work. After the second meeting, there was no doubting his passion for the industry and the potential for DiGiCo. From that point, it was just a question of timing. Starting at the beginning of 2008 represents a perfect sync point for the DiGiCo team to combine with Group One to carry us into the New Year. Avoiding the usual cliché adjectives, I am confident this is going to really work!”
“DiGiCo has developed a strong brand in the U.S.,” says Marketing Director David Webster. “Combining this, the established DiGiCo U.S. team, and the distribution know-how of Group One, gives us the ideal marriage to further strengthen our position and fully implement the extensive plans we have for the not-too-distant future.”
"Working with James and Dave over the last few months,” sums Group One President, Jack Kelly, “I was committed to putting this agreement together the right way — for the long term and for the benefit of all of DiGiCo's current and future customers. I feel we have achieved that and I'm incredibly positive about our relationship and our prospects for continuing to build the DiGiCo brand in the United States.”
