Vox Ignis, a global voice alarm, emergency audio and alarm systems business, has recently appointed Richard Gray as its new Regional Sales Manager for the South of the UK.

Following the retirement of his predecessor Nick Teahan, Gray joined Vox Ignis at the end of April 2025 with a remit to grow its sales and customer base across the south of the UK and to support sales of the company’s Unicorn Voice PAVA, Lexicomm EVC, AssistCall safety alarms and InEvac lockdown systems.

Gray is well known in the UK industry having spent nearly 20 years in senior design and sales roles for many well-known installers and distributors, with particular expertise in EN54-16 voice alarm systems.

A “well-respected professional”

Jeremy Kirkup, Sales Director, Vox Ignis said: “We’re very happy to welcome Richard to the company. He is a very well-respected professional with vast experience and has fitted in well.

“We are growing quickly with sales across our portfolio, especially for our Unicorn Voice integrated PAVA and EVC system and Richard is quickly proving a real asset.

“Our product launch programme for 2025 is already full and these are exciting times for everyone who deals with Vox Ignis,” Kirkup commented.

Vox Ignis a thriving independent manufacturer

Gray articulated that he is: “Delighted to join Vox Ignis. I have known or worked with them for many years in previous roles and it’s a real privilege to join a thriving, independent UK manufacturer at the next stage in its growth.

“Their current portfolio is very well regarded and requested. New products such as Unicorn Voice, InEvac and AssistCallPro mean that there is a new Vox Ignis solution for existing and future customers alike,” finalised Gray.
