Responding to the growing regional market demand for its expanding line-up of
collaboration, conferencing and streaming solutions, ClearOne has strengthened its
sales network in the United Kingdom and Ireland with the addition of CUK Audio to its
existing distributor network in the region.

“As we continue to broaden the range of our solutions, it is critically important that
we partner with high value-added distributors around the world who understand and
share our commitment to provide customers with the very best consultation, system
design and after-sale training and support,’ ClearOne Chairman and CEO Zee
Hakimoglu said today. “CUK Audio has demonstrated that understanding and
commitment time and again on behalf of their customer and reseller network. We
welcome their participation in expanding ClearOne’s market presence in the UK and
Ireland.’

Commenting on the appointment, CUK Audio founder and Managing Director Stuart
Thomson noted that, “ClearOne designs, develops and sells some of the worlds most
advanced conferencing, collaboration, network streaming and signage solutions for
voice and visual communications. The performance and simplicity of ClearOne’s
comprehensive solutions offer unprecedented levels of functionality, reliability and
scalability. We are delighted to have the opportunity to sell ClearOne products in the
UK and Ireland.’

According to Thomson, CUK Audio’s business has transformed over the last few years
as the company has put in place a number of initiatives to better serve the market
and the brands they represent. “Distributors can’t simply content themselves with just
supplying products anymore – we have to offer solutions, support and advice
throughout the duration of the project and beyond. We have put in place some expert,
vertical channel managers whose mission is exactly that – to provide effective, well-
thought-out end-to-end solutions wherever possible from the wide range of brands
available in their market channel. We also pride ourselves on the level of technical
support we provide at every stage of the project, from specifying right through to
commissioning. All these factors make us the ideal partner for ClearOne, whose
advanced conferencing and collaboration solutions require more than just a basic
knowledge of the market and the technologies available to be able to sell effectively.’

Sales director and head of CUK’s conference and collaboration channel Simon Druce
further noted, “ClearOne is right at the cutting edge of conferencing and collaboration
technology with advanced network streaming solutions for audio and video. Our
strength as a sales partner for ClearOne lies in our deep understanding of the market
and its technologies, our strong relationships with our customers and our exceptional
levels of support throughout the whole of the UK and Ireland. The addition of
ClearOne products to our portfolio is very exciting news for our customers and us, as
it will take us to the next level regarding our conferencing offer.’
