GLOBAL: EM Acoustics has appointed Sue Mudge, formerly Sue Gould, as Communications Manager. Taking on the position as a freelance consultant, Mudge brings three decades of experience across professional AV media, publishing and industry communications.

Mudge began her media career in 1996, working with industry publications including Pro Sound News Europe, Installation Europe and Studio Sound. She subsequently spent 21 years as Sales Director at Blank Canvas Publishing, overseeing the Pro AVL Asia, Pro AVL MEA and Worship AVL titles.

At EM Acoustics, she will work closely with Operations Director Mike Wheeler and Brand Manager Greg Clarke, overseeing PR, content creation, marketing and media support, while also focusing on distributor liaison and territory development.

“I’m really looking forward to working with EM Acoustics as I begin this new chapter,” said Mudge. “I met Mike for the first time in 2002 at PLASA when he and Ed had only just started the company, and we’ve remained in touch ever since. I’ve followed EM’s evolution closely and have been consistently impressed by the quality of the product range as well as the company’s ethos and philosophy. Being actively involved in that journey as EM Acoustics approaches its 25th anniversary, with some truly innovative announcements in the pipeline, is incredibly exciting.”

For EM Acoustics, the appointment comes as the company approaches a significant milestone and prepares for its next phase of development. Wheeler welcomed Mudge’s arrival, saying: “Sue joins us at a highly significant point in the timeline of the company. As she observes, we have been in contact for nearly the entire life of EM Acoustics, and with very exciting times ahead, I, for one, am really looking forward to putting her extensive skills to good use as EM Acoustics continues to grow.”

Clarke added: “Sue has exceptional breadth and depth of experience in the field, and her skill and talent will be invaluable as we continue to develop our reach. Her informed and approachable style fits perfectly with the EM Acoustics ethos and we are absolutely thrilled to have her on board.”
