Long-running industry consultant Brendan Murray received a Milestone Award at the recent NAMM show, marking his 25 years in the business.
Milestone Awards are presented annually by NAMM president and CEO, Joe Lamond, to industry leaders celebrating notable anniversaries during The NAMM Show.
Murray’s Trust Network is a resource that puts international distributors in place for its clients and helps prepare companies to sell in the global market providing input and action on the realities of what it takes to achieve sell-in to the supply chains and sell-through to the customers.
Joint-founder and managing director, Murray said: “When we founded the Trust Network in 1992 our aim was to provide manufacturers and brand owners in our music and sound industries with specialist knowledge, experience and skills that secured highly suitable distributors for their products in international territories. We wanted to help them avoid the political, pricing and marketing pitfalls that can so hamper steady, profitable growth in a company’s global sales and brand awareness. The aim was to achieve this by bringing them together with the right people and resellers who were right for their products. After 25 years of executing projects in almost every country in the world and maintaining a success rate throughout that time of over 93% in putting distributors in place for our clients, we’ve had the privilege of delivering on that aim for some of the industry’s best young innovators and some of its biggest brands.”
“NAMM is honoured to recognise the Trust Network for their 25 years in business and in service to both the music products industry and to their community,” added Lamond. “The Trust Network has demonstrated the perseverance and passion to stand the test of time, inspire countless others and create a more musical world for the benefit of all.”
