Burgess – who has spent the last four years as national accounts field sales manager for Norbain, and whose 22-year career has seen him gain experience working for Philips and Visimetrics – has been recruited by Samsung Techwin as account manager CCTV (south, UK), and will be responsible for developing new business opportunities as a result of working with installers, systems integrators and distributors.
Biddulph – whose career within the electronic security industry spans 15 years, including most recently three-and-a-half years working for Dedicated Micros – has joined Samsung Techwin as pre-sales engineer to provide clients with support in system design, tender returns and compliance and product training.
Commitment to customer support
Burgess and Biddulph will report to Simon Shawley, senior sales manager (UK and Ireland) for Samsung Techwin’s Professional Security Division.
Commenting on the appointments, Shawley told SMT Online: “Colin and Tim are both very welcome additions to our sales team. At a time when a number of CCTV manufacturers are cutting back on personnel, their appointments are a demonstration of our commitment to fully support our growing list of customers throughout the UK and Ireland.”
Established Professional Security Division
Established in 1977 and part of the Samsung Group, Samsung Techwin is a global leader in the supply of leading professional and industrial products and services. With a turnover in excess of GB pound 1.37 billion, and employing over 7,000 staff worldwide, the company is an innovator in many markets including security, surface mount technology, aviation, defence and engineering.
Though Samsung Techwin has operated in the security market for many years, in March 2008 it established a dedicated professional security division to service Europe. This has lead to Samsung Techwin quickly becoming one of Europe’s fastest-growing professional security brands, with offices in a number of territories offering local support and services to clients.
This commitment ensures that the company has the flexibility and know-how to develop technology, services and products to meet the specific needs of the professional security market, while at the same time benefitting from the backing of one of the world’s largest and best-known corporations.
