Communications, the global market leader in network video has made a positive
start to the New Year with a key appointment to its northern European senior
management team.
Andrew Martin, joins Axis as a retail business
development manager and will be based in Watford. Following a successful early
career with West Yorkshire Police, Andrew has worked in retail security, loss prevention and operations for
over 25 years, both in-house and as a consultant, holding senior management
posts at Dixons, HMV and Fopp and advising brands such as Apple, Waitrose and
Jessops.
Prior to joining Axis, he headed up the loss
prevention team at Morrisons supermarkets where he was responsible for the
identification of loss throughout the entire supply chain, covering 30 sites
and overseeing a team of loss prevention managers, specialists and officers.
Commenting on his appointment, Andrew said: “I have
worked with Axis as an end user, in a consultative role in the past and have
always been impressed with both its products and its people. Axis is really
keen to better understand the end user experience so that’s where I see myself adding
real value to complement its market leading technology and application
expertise.
“It’s an exciting challenge to learn about all the
technology and how it can really assist the retail process. There’s a lot to
take in but it’s great to know that I will be learning from the best in the
business – a company that really invests time and energy in all its staff.”
In his new role at Axis, Andrew will be responsible
for developing the retail channel business, a key focus for Axis in the year
ahead. He will also play a significant part in helping it maintain its market
leading position.
Atul Rajput, regional director, northern Europe,
added: “We’re delighted to welcome Andrew, an extremely experienced retail and
security professional, to the team. Axis has always strived to offer ‘best in
class’ support for its partners and to better understand its end users in order
to provide the right solutions to retailers.
“The further expansion of the northern European
team will help us to continue to achieve this goal, focussing on cost effective
solutions that deliver real business value, not only raising the bar for safety
and security but also having a positive impact on operations and business
processes.”
