Bill has a long history serving clients in sales and has a vast knowledge of camera equipment and the industry as a whole, says Bickford. We're pleased that he's joined Sim as we work to provide the best possible service and product knowledge for our clients. Demand for our services in the U.S. has increased so much that we needed someone of Bill's depth and breadth of experience and relationships.

Jaymie ensures Sim Camera U.S. provides a quality of service that significantly exceeds industry standards.
I am excited by the challenge of growing the Los Angeles and Atlanta markets as well as others emerging across the U.S., says Bickford. Sim has given me the opportunity to put my experience to practical use and has deepened my appreciation for a corporate culture that values team collaboration, while putting the client first.
Russell is charged with establishing and maintaining relationships with Sim clients in the U.S. market, and will oversee business development activities in both the Los Angeles and Atlanta Camera operations. He has served as an account executive for post-production services, was Vice President, Camera Products for ARRI, and ran a consulting business for entrepreneurs seeking to enter or improve their position in the motion picture industry. He has strong ties with the ICG Local 600, and is an Associate Member of the ASC and AMPAS.
I am very happy to be part of this growing and dynamic team, says Russell.
