Glasgow-based Community UK, are pleased to announce their appointment as UK distributor for Digigram's range of networking products.

With headquarters in Montbonnot, France, Digigram is a world-leading innovator in digital audio network solutions, and the company's products are highly successful in the commercial sound, broadcast and recording market sectors worldwide.

Community UK is a young but experienced company, established in June last year. In addition to the core products from Community Professional Loudspeakers, the company is also UK distributor for KIND amplifiers from Italy. The growth of the company has been impressive, helped by the strong industry relationships of the three key members of staff, Stuart Thomson, Alan Lochhead and Stuart Cunningham, but also proving the original strategy of a heavy investment in stock to support sales and a strong commitment to customer service.

Digigram President and CEO, Philippe Delacroix, commented, "We have a good UK market for our studio products and will continue distribution of these through SCV, with whom we have an excellent relationship. For some time now we had appreciated the need for separate distribution for the audio network products, particularly for the commercial sound market, and through mutual industry contacts we have been following the fortunes of Community UK and liked what we saw. They have been successful by having a good attitude to customer service and technical support, which is essential for a brand like Digigram. I am sure this is a good match and I welcome them to our worldwide network of distribution partners".

Stuart Thomson, Managing Director of Community UK is equally enthusiastic, "The last 12 months have seen a very strong and consistent growth in sales for both Community and KIND. If I'm honest our growth has been less in 'box sales' and much more in 'system sales', with a close involvement with our customers and their projects, the type of sale we are well-equipped to handle. This makes Digigram - and especially its EtherSound range of products - a very attractive brand for us, in that it provides for a much greater level of the 'solutions' our customers are looking for". He concludes, "The fit of Digigram with Community and KIND is excellent and greatly strengthens our ability to provide our customers with well-matched, quality solutions for a very wide range of indoor and outdoor applications".
