Based in the Celestion headquarters in Ipswich, McDougall will develop and build relationships and business with distributors in these regions, helping to ensure the best offerings from Celestion in each region.
Neil McDougall brings a rich and varied career in various aspects of the music, MI and pro audio industries to Celestion; having worked both as a professional musician and as the owner of a music retail company.
