The new role will see Hill holding responsibility for identifying global opportunities and exploring new international markets.
Having worked in the security sector since 1990 and joining LiLin in 1998, Hill’s wealth of experience and expertise will strengthen the company’s global position as it continues its rapid transition to a high end IP product developer.
Hill will retain P&L responsibility for the UK operation but is handing overall responsibility for UK sales management on to Steve Liddiard. Having been with LiLin for seven years and with a long and successful track record in CCTV sales, Liddiard is the ideal employee to take over this role.
The appointment of Hill as group vice president will also result in the UK operation becoming a Centre of Excellence for LiLin’s global marketing and will ensure the progress made in HD IP technology is replicated around the world.
2012 will see the launch of more products than any previous year for LiLin, in turn reflecting the huge R&D investment made in IP technology over the past three years.
The company is promising that “a number of world firsts” will also be announced over the coming 12 months.
Commenting on his appointment, Hill stated: “I’m extremely proud to be given this opportunity to work on a larger stage for LiLin. Bringing our new products to new markets is the sort of challenge I relish.”
Hill continued: “I’m equally proud that our UK marketing team has been recognised for its ability to portray the high quality of LiLin’s products in our promotion. In addition, Steve’s own promotion reflects his fantastic achievements to date for our company.”
In conclusion, Hill stated: “2012 is going to be a year of significant global growth for LiLin based on some superb new products, new market opportunities and some highly motivated sales teams in our branch operations.”
