Daren has a broad base of experience, with four years as a Northern area sales manager, also four years as distribution manager and latterly taking responsibility for Panasonic's business development within the government and corporate channel.
During his last role with Panasonic, Daren was responsible for working closely with the consultant community and to help specifiers working on large-end user projects.
Steve Gorski, managing director for Axis Communications (UK), commented, "We are delighted to welcome Daren to the Axis UK team. Daren has substantial experience working in the security industry, and specifically brings in skills and experience to help Axis assist the consultant community to ensure we can increase of our share of involvement in large capital projects."
Daren Lang, business development manager for Axis Communications (UK), responded, "IP is the growth area for security and I wanted to work with the market leader as Axis is the number one player in the IP arena. I am looking forward to getting Axis closer to consultants as we understand the vital role they play in specifying security systems for the corporate and government sectors."
