She is recognised for her interpersonal skills and ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the industry.
In her new role, Mara will work alongside Phillip Roe, with a primary focus on developing CUK’s CI business across the South of England. She will also support the continued growth of the company’s marine audio category.

Mara will also play an active role in supporting future CEDIA events and initiatives.
Phillip Roe, CI Channel Manager, CUK, says, “We’re very excited to have Mara on the team. Her proven experience and skills, and the enormous industry goodwill that she brings, will make a major contribution to CUK’s status and growth. Mara knows the CI ropes as well as anyone and will energise every brand story with her intellect and infectious personality.”
Mara says, “I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with CUK and to help realise the potential of its famous and fabulous brands within this wonderful industry. CUK is very supportive and open to ideas and I can’t wait to reward their faith in me with meaningful new contacts and business.”
