Smethurst said: “Having been with Gamma for over 17 years, I am immensely proud to be given the opportunity to lead Gamma’s geographic sales team. We have a wonderful team here at Gamma full of immense talent, and I look forward to helping others continue their career development at Gamma. The relationship Gamma has with its channel community is paramount to what we do and indeed are all about: we are dedicated to nurturing and growing on shared successes, and we are all extremely excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for the industry.”

Gamma Managing Director Daryl Pile said: “I’m delighted Andy will be taking on this new key role within the channel team. During his time at Gamma, Andy has built a successful track record of leading and nurturing teams, and building strong relationships with our partners. I look forward to seeing him bring his invaluable experience, knowledge and enthusiasm to the role.”
