Managing Director - Richard Wear
Founder Richard Wear has worked in the professional audio industry since graduating from Warwick University, England in 1986 with a BSc Hons in Engineering Science. As a school music scholar with a strong interest in recording, Richard's career took its own natural course. Initially working in direct sales of high-tech recording equipment supplying the UK music, recording and TV sectors, Richard moved on to work for the Japanese manufacturer Fostex where he became sales and marketing manager for the company's range of professional audio products. There he spearheaded the development of a number of ground-breaking digital audio products designed for the film and post-production markets. During this time Richard worked on numerous product development and marketing assignments in Europe, Asia, the USA and the UK.
In 1995 Richard was appointed by Celestion International Ltd as Marketing Director, where he gained valuable experience in the world of MI product manufacturing and global distribution. After establishing a Professional business unit and formulating a targeted product development and international marketing program, Richard was appointed Director & General Manager of the Celestion Professional Products Division in 1996. Responsible for world-wide sales, marketing, distribution and development activity, this gave Richard a unique insight into the diverse business challenges and methodologies needed by a specialist global technology brand business.
In addition to working with distributors and customers in all parts of the world, Richard has a particularly well developed experience of the US market place and has managed directly a US sales and marketing function from 1995-97. He has continued to be actively involved in sales, marketing and distribution activity in the USA since that time.
As an employer and manager of a dedicated team, Richard knows the difficulties of hiring key specialist staff and has tried most methods available over the years. The lessons learnt from this experience are the inspiration for interfacio and the principles of the service that we offer.
