COE Ltd, the UK-based developer and supplier of advanced video surveillance systems, is delighted to announce two further high quality arrivals in its UK field sales team.

Richard Allen-Miles has joined as Global Account Manager, based in the UK.  Richard brings significant experience in the surveillance industry gained from a career with Mitsubishi, Richardson Electronics, TAC and others.  He will focus on global Systems Integrators and selected other major accounts.

Neil Smith has also joined the team as Field Sales Executive, and brings experience working in a major national UK CCTV business as well as sales skills from other industries.

Andrew Wallace, Chief Executive Officer of COE Limited, commented, "COE is building on its recent strong bookings growth and we have now doubled our sales force ahead of schedule in the UK.  COE focuses on developing close and long-standing customer relationships.  With the arrival of Richard and Neil we will be able to spend more time working with the many customers who have asked for more.  This is another step in developing the platform which we have built in the last few years."

Richard Allen-Miles, Global Account Manager, said, "In recent years CCTV technology has migrated towards digital and IP, and COE is able to combine the best of these technologies with existing systems.  We are now being presented with the exciting opportunities available from video analytics.  I am looking forward to working with the COE product line-up which has long-standing field-proven capabilities in each of these key areas.  The development of COE's business, and the strengthening of its relationships with its integration partners, will benefit from the exciting and dynamic changes being made to the global sales team."

Neil Smith, Field Sales Executive, said, "COE is assembling a very high quality team to build on its long-standing CCTV experience.  I am excited to work with the team and look forward to satisfying customers with COE's system portfolio."
