Standard Communications Pty Ltd, the manufacturer of the Kingray product line recently hosted a two day Kingray product familiarisation program for Antiference staff at their Sydney headquarters. Martin Jackson and Dan Winterton Antiference’s UK sales managers made the whirlwind trip to Australia in mid August to participate in an in-depth training program.
Antiference Ltd, with over 75 years experience in the UK television industry was appointed as the exclusive Kingray distributor for the UK and Ireland in June this year. An essential component of the distribution agreement was the provision of detailed sales and technical training to key Antiference staff, essentially a “Train the Trainer” program to enable the further dissemination of Kingray information through Antiference UK distribution channels.
The Sydney course led by Derryn Hill Kingray’s technical sales manager covered all aspects of the newly introduced Kingray Headend system, from design concept through to installation and the programming/set up procedure. Site visits were also undertaken, where the visitors were shown local KPS installations, including the 1200 outlet at the Newington Olympic village location.
Sean Griffin, whose responsibilities include international business development for the KPS product line, congratulated the Kingray team on a methodical and highly professional presentation; “I was particularly impressed with the relevance and level of detail our trainers were able to achieve during the limited time available. I should also give credit to our visitors who thoroughly embraced the program and were able to share their own considerable experience of the UK and European MATV market.”
