After 15-years leading the company as owner and CEO, Matt Bennett has officially stepped down from his role at B-Tech AV Mounts.
Dick van Baarlen, CEO of Global Mounts Group; the partnership formed last year by Neomounts and B-Tech AV Mounts, will take over as the new CEO of B-Tech, overseeing all operations worldwide.
Bennett first joined B-Tech in 1998, whilst it was headquartered in Croydon, London. He was pivotal in growing the export side of the business, before moving to Hong Kong to set up B-Tech’s manufacturing operations and APAC supply chain in 2002. In 2008 he moved back to the UK to complete a management buyout for the parts of the business owned by his father, thus becoming the sole owner of the full group of B-Tech companies.
After working to complete the deal for B-Tech to join the Global Mounts Group, Bennett now steps aside and will keenly watch B-Tech’s development from afar, whilst spending more time with his family.
Both B-Tech AV Mounts and Neomounts continue to operate independently under their own brand.
B-Tech’s new CEO, Dick van Baarlen comments “Taking on Matt’s duties as B-Tech’s CEO, I am confident in further developing B-Tech’s position as a true international market leader of pro-AV mounting solutions. Within the Global Mounts Group, B-Tech continues to serve the pro AV market according to the existing channel and product assortment strategies, and will keep offering the best dedicated support to our distribution, reseller and integrator partners worldwide.”
