Based in the Celestion headquarters in Ipswich, McDougall will develop and build relationships and business with distributors in these regions, helping to ensure the best offerings from Celestion in each region.

“Celestion is a highly respected brand with a rich heritage, and I have always admired their reputation for having a very professional work ethic and friendly atmosphere as a company. As I believe strongly in this approach to business, I’m delighted to join them,” says McDougall. “In my first few days, I enjoyed the experience of building a speaker at the Ipswich factory, where many key Celestion products are hand-built. I will surely be recommending a factory visit to my distributors.”
