UK distributor Polar has appointed Andy Ostler - who has worked for Brother UK, Vidyo and Emblaze-VCON - as UC business development manager.
Ostler will join the Integrated Solutions team at the installation, MI and professional audio market supplier.
Stuart Leader, director at Polar integrated solutions, said: “This is a fantastic appointment for us. Andy is an operator of the highest calibre whose work in UC and video-conferencing at companies such as Brother UK, Vidyo and Emblaze-VCON, has seen him develop a formidable skill-set. He is a very personable character who combines a customer-first approach with a clear enthusiasm for delivering solutions. There is no doubt whatsoever that with Andy at the helm of what is for us a fast-growing and very important channel, POLAR’s interests are in excellent hands.”
Ostler added: “I am excited to be joining the Integrated Solutions team and working with like-minded industry professionals. Polar is a value-added distributor for video and audio solutions with some great exclusive product ranges - something that dovetails neatly with my background. Most recently I’ve been involved with managing a unified communications business unit, providing web and collaborations solutions as a service specialised within vertical markets. With an extensive knowledge of web/videoconferencing and associated integration with AV technologies, I believe that I’m well-placed to help Polar deliver exceptional solutions and provide unparalleled support to channel customers.”
