New Northern Sales Manager for the UK Announced at PLASA Leeds
Le Mark enjoyed another successful PLASA Focus Leeds exhibition this month. Completing our dream team of Stuart Gibbons, Managing Director, and Matt Every, UK Business Development, was Jeff Demain, our latest team member, and new Northern Sales Manager, UK.
“This was a fantastic opportunity to take my first step out under Le Mark colours,” Jeff said. “The PLASA Leeds show grows from strength to strength each year and is now a firm favourite of many Northern companies due to its location and layout. We had good coverage from our stand position on the corner. From here, we could greet customers and prospects approaching from both directions. I’m looking forward to next year already.”
Competition Winner Announced
“Over the two days, we had a very successful show with some great enquiries for tapes, labels, flooring and Dirty Rigger products,” Matt said. “We ran a business card drop competition on our stand, and we are pleased to announce the winner is…
Jason Salvin from Production Light and Sound!
“He will soon receive a collection of some of our most popular Dirty Rigger items. We’ve included a pair of Comfort Fit™ Rigger Gloves, a Pro-Pocket™ XT tool pouch and a 4-in-1 Podger Ratchet. We hope he loves them as much as we do.”
Dirty Rigger Distributors
“Instead of selling Dirty Rigger items directly,” Matt explained, “we were delighted to support three of our UK distributors: Flint Theatrical Chandlers, Theatre Sound Supplies and Rope and Rigging Ltd.”
Here’s what some of our distributors had to say about the event.
Jo Bunnell Thompson, Business Development Manager, Flints Theatrical Chandlers:
“We’re so delighted to have brought these gloves in, they were an instant success (especially the Framer Style Comfort Fit Gloves). Selling out on the first day in some sizes was an extremely pleasant surprise – we can’t wait to bring more of these to the market! You can find them on all of our Trade Show stands and pop-up shops throughout the summer.”
George Chatburn, Owner, Theatre Sound Supplies:
“We had a great response to the Dirty Rigger products at Plasa Leeds, they were by far our best-selling products. We sold the comfort fit gloves on the stand and they were well received by our customers. Dirty Rigger are the go-to brand for gloves and pouches and that shows when we talk to customers.”

After-Show Networking
“I think it’s fair to say that all three of us were kept very busy at PLASA Focus Leeds, but we had fun at the same time,” Matt said. “We attended a fantastic drinks party held by our customer J & C Joel to celebrate their 40th anniversary. This was followed by the PLASA Focus after-party, where we enjoyed a few friendly, yet competitive, games of pool and table tennis. We have already booked our stand for 2020. See you there!”
