Sonifex’s distributor of the year awards were a repeat of last year with Canford Audio being awarded the best UK distributor award and Comcon Industries of New Delhi, India receiving the export award. To present the awards Managing Director of Sonifex Ltd, Marcus Brooke, travelled to the two companies to hand them over personally.
Canford Audio is based in Washington, near Newcastle, UK and the award was accepted by Managing Director Chas Kennedy. Chas commented: "We’ve had an exceptionally long relationship with Sonifex and I think that this is the fourth time that we’ve received this award. We’re delighted to still be number one in the UK for sales of Sonifex products."
In New Delhi, the export award was given to Rakesh Aggarwal, Managing Director of Comcon, and his wife Usha. Mr Aggarwal commented :"We’ve sold over 520 Courier portable recorders to AIR and they are using them across India in varying climatic conditions. The technical support that AIR have received from us has been backed up by Sonifex all the way and we’ve recently sent engineers over to the UK for training. We’ve got a great relationship with Sonifex and hope that it continues".
Whilst in New Delhi, Brooke also attended the opening of the New Broadcasting House of All India Radio (AIR). Marcus Brooke said: "Rakesh and his team deserve every respect for their hard work. At the opening of the new AIR building it was clear that he is held in high regard by the engineers there".
The New Broadcasting House was opened on 23rd August 2005 in a ceremony attended by the Honourable Minister for Information & Broadcasting and Culture, Shri S. Jaipal Reddy. Tower `B` at Doordarshan Bhawan TV studios were also opened on the same day.
