Richard Gray appointed regional sales manager at Vox Ignis

Following the retirement of his predecessor Nick Teahan, Gray joined the business at the end of April with a remit to grow its sales and customer base across the south of the UK and to support sales of the Unicorn Voice PAVA, the Lexicomm EVC, AssistCall safety alarms and the InEvac lockdown systems.

Portsmouth-based Gray is well known in the UK fire industry having spent nearly 20 years occupying senior design and sales roles for many well-known installers and distributors. Through time, he has gained particular expertise in EN 54-16 voice alarm systems.

Jeremy Kirkup, sales director at Vox Ignis, informed Fire Safety Matters: “We’re very happy to welcome Richard to the company. He’s a very well-respected professional with vast experience and has fitted in well. We’re growing quickly thanks to sales right across our portfolio, notably so for our Unicorn Voice integrated PAVA and EVC systems and Richard is already proving to be a real asset. Our product launch programme for 2025 is full. These are exciting times.”

Commenting on his appointment, Gray observed: “I’m delighted to join Vox Ignis. For many years, I’ve known of or worked with the company in previous roles and it’s a real privilege to join what is a thriving and independent UK manufacturer at the next stage in its growth plan.”

Gray continued: “Our current portfolio is very well regarded and requested by clients. Products such as Unicorn Voice, InEvac and AssistCallPro mean that there’s a new Vox Ignis solution for existing and future customers alike.”

Designed and manufactured in the UK and sold under the Vox Ignis and leading OEM brands worldwide, the company’s product ranges amplify the safety of millions of people and buildings every day.
