The DWR Distribution sales team is strengthened with the addition of Robert Izzett.

"This is part of a planned company expansion," says Duncan Riley, MD of the leading South African lighting sales company which distributes premium brands like Robe moving lights, Avolites and MA lighting consoles, Strong, etc.

Izzett brings many years of industry experience to DWR, the last 8 of those were spent at Electrosonic, before which he worked in the event industry. He also has a diploma in sound engineering.

"I'm delighted to have Robert onboard," says Riley, "People and service are the most important thing in this business. I was specifically looking for someone with a broad hands-on knowledge of our industry and the specific demands of that environment, as well as good product awareness. It's really vital to have the right people in the company, and I believe Robert will be a great asset."

Izzett says, "I have known Duncan for a long time. DWR has a fantastic reputation across the industry, great ambitions and is a lively and proactive environment in which to work - I am very much looking forward to the new challenges it will bring."
