Derek Brooks joins Sepura's Sales team to support and develop global business opportunities.
With expanding growth opportunities around the world, it’s an exciting time for Sepura as we welcome Derek Brooks to the Sales team. Derek joins us as International Business Development Manager. His core role will be to engage with potential and existing partners to grow our share of the global critical communications market.
Derek has a background in international business development, having previously worked in global sales and marketing roles with Tyco, Eaton MEDC, NesscoInvsat and TransTel Engineering. Within these roles, he worked with major international system integrators to deploy complex telecoms networks into oil and gas refineries, petrochemical plants and other critical national infrastructure organisations.
Having studied electronic engineering and design, Derek has the technical background to match our extensive range of products to users’ needs.
“I am delighted to take on this role with such a trusted supplier to the industry. Sepura has a strong relationship with its partners, working with them to drive growth wherever opportunities exist, and I look forward to working with our teams to further this.”

Alongside the recent appointment of Rob Merrick (Business Development Manager – Broadband Products) to grow sales of LTE broadband products, Derek will help support critical communications users to deploy Sepura's powerful, flexible solutions.
"We are really pleased to have added Derek’s experience to our global Sales team. The sale of Sepura to Epiris has allowed us to look at markets that we know are significant areas of growth for critical communications. This includes new metros, airports and other transport infrastructure, utilities and oil and gas plants, and of course with our core market in public safety. Derek will be crucial to building relationships with partners in these regions and growing our customer base around the world.”
