Cedar Audio Appoints Audio Forensic & Security Channel Specialist for Canada
SFM ’ S SARAH LIMA
Cedar Audio has appointed Norman Verrall and his business , Norm ’ s Company , as its Canadian forensic and security
NORMAN VERRALL specialist . The new partnership brings Verrall out of retirement to revive his longstanding relationship with Cedar .
As the former sales manager at HHB Canada ( Now YSL Pro ), Verrall supplied Cedar to Canadian mastering studios , post studios , broadcasters , and more for 20 years . Prior to that , he was the technical manager for Studer , which was Cedar ’ s first Canadian dealer .
“ As our product ranges developed , Norman was also instrumental in bringing them to the attention of the Canadian forensic and surveillance communities . There ’ s no one in Canada who understands Cedar systems better than he does ,” says Cedar ’ s Managing Director Gordon Reid . “ We were therefore very sad when he announced his retirement in 2018 , but the lure of new Cedar products and our customers proved too great for him to stay away for long . Today , he ’ s bringing his own company into the audio forensics and security arenas as well as taking over the sales and support of our flagship Cedar Cambridge systems for the Canadian archives and libraries , many of whom are existing Cedar users .”
Norm ’ s Company is based in Toronto and can be reached at 416-702-6333 or normsco @ sympatico . ca .
