News just in that dZine have finally hired a direct sales manager for the UK. Seems likely that Adam Wilson, previously at AMX, will start with dZine – although as he is probably on ‘gardening leave’ it’s unlikely he will be seen at #ScreenMediaExpo (dZine are sharing stand B3 with Barco next week in London).
