LEADER Appoints European Regional Development Manager

LEADER Instruments Corporation has appointed Kevin Salvidge as its European Regional Development Manager, Leader Electronics Europe Corporation.

Based in Britain, he will be working alongside Market Development Manager Koichi Fukagawa.

"Kevin has an excellent broadcast business background, having worked for some of the largest and most successful companies in the industry," said Koichi Fukagawa. "His experience combined with his evident understanding of the commercial and technical issues influencing this very fast developing industry should prove a useful supplement to the skills and efforts of our colleagues at LEADER and within our existing distribution network. He joins at a time of great opportunity as the industry embraces higher display standards and the increasing use of IP-based signal distribution."

"LEADER is a forwarding-looking organisation offering some of the best products in the test and measurement business," Kevin Salvidge added. "My role within LEADER Electronics Europe includes establishing one-to-one contact with key resellers throughout our distribution territory and ensuring they have all the resources they need to support customers within their respective regions.

"The introduction of 4K ultra high definition allows programme producers and rights owners to deliver extremely high quality content to their viewer base but demands very careful attention to signal quality right the way through the signal chain. LEADER products such as the LV 5490 can be used every step of the way from content creation through post-production to playout."
