Sennheiser UK has announced that Peter May has joined the Company as Sales and Marketing Director. May joins Sennheiser after ten years as Channel Sales Director for Philips.

“I’ll be working with the sales and marketing teams to build on the good work that’s being done already to grow the business in a structured manner,” explains May. “There’s a really good bunch of people here at Sennheiser. They’re all passionate about the product and they have some great customers. That’s already clear to me.” 

Having a wealth of experience dealing with mass-market merchants including Argos, Tesco, Costco, Asda and John Lewis, along with many independent retailers and distributors, May plans on extending those relationships for Sennheiser.

“My experience with Philips is with many different commercial channels,” confirms May. “It’s a good match for what [Sennheiser UK General Manager] Phil Massey is looking for in terms of developing the business.”  

Having also worked on business-to-business side of Philips product range, May arrives at Sennheiser in perfect position to continue the Company’s ongoing success.

“My arrival provides an opportunity for Phil to have a broader look at the business and allow me to get stuck into sales and marketing,” continues May. “I’m going to focus on delivering excellent products and service to all the accounts we’re working with. The economic climate isn’t great right now, but what’s good about Sennheiser is that we have several routes to market, and not all of those are going to be as affected by the economic downturn as others. What’s already encouraging is that despite the current climate, Sennheiser’s consumer products are still doing well and still growing.”

General Manager Phil Massey was equally enthusiastic about May’s arrival.

“Peter May is a great addition to the Sennheiser team,” explained Massey. “I’m looking forward to working closely with him and continuing to increase Sennheiser’s market share in all aspects of our business. With Peter’s experience and reputation, I’m absolutely confident that that’s exactly what will happen. We’re delighted to have him here.”
