MDG has announced the appointment of Matt Wiseman as its new European sales manager, with immediate effect.

Wiseman will be responsible for MDG's European distribution network, driving business growth and supporting customers and distributors on a one-to-one basis through demo processes, product training, special projects, and trade show support.

Wiseman brings with him over 30 years of industry experience, predominantly with rental companies and manufacturers in the lighting world, including Theatre Projects, Midnight Design, Essential Lighting, Vari-Lite, PRG and Rosco where he was European Sales Manager. Since 2014 he has been at the forefront of MDG sales in the UK. "This is where my background in rental really helped to understand the fast pace that you need to support the industry the best you can," says Wiseman.

"I'm excited to bring my experience in sales, and customer and product support to MDG in this new role. I love a challenge and, having spent more than 11 years building the UK MDG market, the move to looking after Europe is a big but very exciting prospect. Every day I learn a little more about MDG, its products or the valued customers who have put their faith in us. I love to meet and understand customers' needs, where they are using our products and how I can best support that. I can see a healthy future for MDG and can't wait to continue our journey in this new capacity."

Nicolas Duhamel, MDG's marketing director and European business development, comments, "We are delighted that Matt is stepping into the role of European sales manager. We have worked with him for nearly 12 years, and his commitment to our brand and his professionalism have never wavered.

"Having already been part of the MDG family for over 11 years, and with a long career in the entertainment and stage lighting industry, Matt brings to this new role a deep knowledge of our company, our sector and its key players. During this time he has successfully driven MDG product sales across the UK market, developed in-depth expertise of our solutions and built strong relationships with clients and partners throughout the entertainment industry. He is ideally placed to equip our distributors with the best tools to promote MDG, and will be the dedicated point of contact for our European partners. We are very excited to have him on board."
