Matt joins HEA Distribution following senior commercial roles in the audio sector, most recently leading the HiFi division at SCV Distribution (now part of Sound Service UK), where he was instrumental in driving sales growth, developing brand-partner relationships, and supporting independent retailers across the UK and Ireland.
In his new role as Commercial Director, Matt will be responsible for shaping HEA Distribution’s commercial strategy, expanding key channel partnerships, and delivering a cohesive sales vision across all audio and lifestyle categories. He will work closely with HEA’s leadership team to accelerate the company’s growth ambitions and enhance service delivery to both existing and future brand partners.
