"I have been extremely happy with the development of Re-Pro over recent years and I am very pleased with the new thrust for internationalisation. My own work has taken me far and wide, and I realised early on the importance of establishing and maintaining help and allies abroad. A global entente is needed more than ever now as our industry grows ever wider and more complex. The inclusion of engineers in our association was to me an important step in cementing the key relationship between producer and sound recordist and made our organisation truly representative. We can now call upon friends and colleagues across the world when meeting the new challenges and responsibilities in our work. I place my support firmly behind Re-Pro International and I have no doubt it will make an important contribution to the world of making music."
