Pro Audio Systems Appoints Peter Butler and Callum Hall

Bradford-based Pro Audio Systems is pleased to announce the recruitment of Peter Butler and Callum Hall to the posts of Business Development Director and Audio Sales respectively. For more than thirty years, Pro Audio Systems has supplied professional audio for sales, hire and installation, offering bespoke system design and comprehensive technical support to a wide variety of clients. As the company emerges from the turbulence of the Coronavirus pandemic, demand for its services remains stronger than ever.

Peter Butler joins as Business Development Director in a role dedicated to improving efficiency and profitability, identifying new opportunities in the marketplace, and addressing potentially beneficial additions to the company’s portfolio. Peter is a vastly experienced industry professional who began his career in a retail position at JSG music in Bingley. Moving into audio sales and hire at The Music Company (TMC), he enjoyed fifteen successful years, latterly as a Director, before joining AC Entertainment Technologies (formerly AC Lighting) as Audio Sales Executive. Peter established the AC Audio division, quickly progressing to the role of Audio Divisional Manager and eventually taking up a Director’s position. In the course of his career he has experienced every facet of the audio and wider entertainment technology industry, something that makes him an invaluable asset.

Pro Audio Systems MD Brian Lumb comments:

“Peter and I go back a long way, having worked together at JSG Music in the mid ‘80s. He is a well-liked, highly respected professional, whose technical knowledge, combined with an in-depth understanding of the industry, fits the profile of Pro Audio Systems to a tee.”

Audio Sales recruit Callum Hall graduated from Birmingham City University in 2015 with a BSc in Sound Engineering and Production, after which he worked as a freelance engineer on a variety of small theatre tours, including stints at the Edinburgh Festival. Between engagements, Callum gained valuable experience working for a large national retailer whilst continuing to work part-time as resident engineer at a popular local music venue. His role at Pro Audio Systems perfectly integrates his technical appreciation of audio with the sales processes learned during his time on the shop floor. Callum’s role as a first point of contact for customers will see him deal with the full remit of Pro Audio’s sales operation, from quoting to purchasing and shipping. 

“Callum has exactly the right attributes for the position,” says Brian. “His audio production training and experience as a working engineer give him clear insights into the needs of our clients, whilst his friendly and customer-focused outlook transfers readily to our business. We’re very pleased to have added Peter and Callum to the team. Both of them share our love of audio and dedication to the highest standards of customer service.”
