Tongue benefits from extensive new business and account management experience within the ICT market place where he built-up an in-depth knowledge of the Siemens PBX brand.
He explained: “You could say I have Siemens in my blood. I’ve been selling Siemens PBX’s since 1996 and worked for Siemens Communications during the initial launch of IP. I was one of the first direct sales people within Siemens to sell a full IP HiPath solution and I am very much looking forward to developing the brand with such a respected name as Nimans. All the building blocks are in place to take a very strong proposition to the market.”
Tongue joined Nimans from Your Communications (THUS) where since June 2003 he worked as a Corporate Account Manager. He was previously employed for five years in a new business sales role for Siemens Communications which followed his first PBX sales position at Alcatel Telecom.
“Nimans is recognised by Siemens as its top distributor for supreme levels of customer care, business growth and business quality and I am very much looking forward to enhancing our service offering,” said Mike who pointed out: “I have what I would call rounded telecoms experience and an in-depth understanding of the industry, particularly the PBX market.
“My background fits perfectly with this role. I want to build on what has already been achieved by Nimans. There’s a good foundation here with a very strong brand. I want to enhance existing dealer relationships and attract new resellers on board by introducing them to the many unrivalled benefits of working with Nimans, from guaranteed next day delivery, pre and post sales technical support and multi-million-pound stock levels.”
