HHB Ops Director Kershaw Retires

HHB Communications has announced the retirement of Richard Kershaw from his position as Director of Operations.

Mr Kershaw began his career at HHB in 1983 after meeting MD Ian Jones while working for theatre sound specialists Hardware House. In the space of 30 years, Mr Kershaw saw the company launch the Portadat, CDR-882 and other models, the BurnIt range of CD recorders and FlashMic under its namesake brand, in addition to a range of HHB Recording Media.
"Richard helped grow HHB to be a global leader in the distribution of professional audio technology to the world’s biggest broadcasters, recording studios, post facilities and systems integrators," a statement from the company said.
Richard Kershaw said: "It has been a great privilege to work alongside the extremely talented people at HHB throughout the years. The company is now stronger than ever and we have a young and dynamic team who bring the same passion and energy to the business that we had in the early years of HHB. It will be sad to leave my good friends, but I know the company will only reach new heights in the future."
Ian Jones added: "Richard has not only been a great person to work with, but a good friend who will be missed by everyone at HHB. As one of the longest-serving HHB Directors, Richard has helped steer the company through exciting times of growth over the past three decades.
"His knowledge, attention to detail and great sense of humour have made him a well-liked and respected colleague of the professional audio industry and we wish him the best of luck."
