American Music & Sound (AM&S) has announced the hiring of Justin Eggleton as national product training manager for Allen & Heath and Turbosound.
In his new role, Eggleton will be responsible for sales support, technical support and certification training for Allen & Heath iLive digital mixing systems and Turbosound loudspeakers.
Eggleton comes to AM&S from Atlanta-based SECOM, a manufacturers’ representative firm that represents both brands in the southeastern U.S.
In addition to his four years as a SECOM regional manager, Eggleton’s background includes extensive experience as a sound engineer for a large mega-church in the Birmingham area, plus direct sales experience in both retail and commercial audio.
He will remain based in Atlanta and travel nationally, commissioning installations, training end users and assisting AM&S representatives in their sales efforts.
“We’re thrilled to have Justin Eggleton take the reins as the new national training manager for Allen & Heath and Turbosound,” says Michael Palmer, AM&S national sales manager for both brands. “Justin has been instrumental in the explosive sales growth of iLive digital mixing products in the Southeast, and his deep understanding of the products is a perfect fit for the ever-expanding AM&S sales and marketing team.”
