MEET THE DRONES

Being a Distribution company means that we don't always get to meet our customers (especially those further afield) which is largely down to the fact that we don't have any full time representation on the road. As a was watching Warehouse Tommy throwing boxes around and moaning about something or other I thought to myself "the world should get to see how awesome we all are here!" So in this blog I thought it would be neat to introduce the workforce here at BR so that you can put a name to a stupid face!

Barry behind one of his 27 personal Craviotto kits

Starting at the very top it's the big chief Barry Race. Barry started BR distribution back in 1988, the same year Belinda Carlisle hit the charts! and just like Belinda, Barry wanted to hit number 1 in the drum and percussion accessories charts! oh yea!

Tommy packing like a madman

Next up it's Warehouse Tommy. This year started a bit crap for Tommy when his lung collapsed at work. I'll never forget Tommy calmly walking into the office with a look of mild annoyance on his face and saying "i think i'll have to go home...my lungs collapsed again". Hard as nails, he's old school! No-one packs a box better than Tommy and don't even think about messing up his warehouse, he's made grown men cry for such things!

Kevin & Chris accounting for some accounts

Then there's the new accounts department of Kevin & Chris. As i mentioned in the last blog Kevin only joined BR earlier this year but since then him and Christine (Barry's wife and BR Director) have joined forces to create the ultimate stock ordering machine! I think Barry is actually scared of them when it's time to order some gear. Kevin isn't a drummer, he's brass player who leads Military bands and this has given us added experience especially with Chalklin.

Me with my remarkably large forehead

Lastly there's me, Richard. I'm in the sales department along with Barry, on the front line, in the trenches talking on the phone about drums day in and day out....it's a hard life! I've been here nearly 3 years now and look at what I've achieved in that time.....a blog and a twitter account! That'll show Barry never to advertise a position on the Job Centre Website.
