Etherlive, the fast-growing IT specialist dedicated to the live event sector, has appointed three new staff in response to increasing demand.
The Brinkworth-based firm’s prestigious portfolio of clients including Southampton Boat Show, the Goodwood Estate and Sky and this summer is continuing its relationship with WOMAD and Green Man festivals. It has also secured new customers including the Cornbury Festival, Tall Ships Greenock and Laugh in the Park.
Following its appointment by the Greater London Authority, Emma Campbell joins as project manager for the London Media Centre, which will handle thousands of journalists during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Emma will be involved in the careful planning process of making sure the site – at One Great George Street in the City – and four outside broadcast centres meet the press pack’s technical requirements.
Emma has previously held similar roles with Learn Direct, the Atomic Energy Association and Marks & Spencer. She will also be responsible for logistics and planning around Etherlive’s major events including the Masterpiece Art Fair and Goodwood Festival of Speed.
John Storey, previously in the IT team at medical supplier Lifestyle Aesthetics, also joins as a technical engineer to help with Etherlive’s offerings to corporate, festival and trade events. He will take immediate technical management responsibility for Etherlive appointments at South West Four and In the Night Garden, a roadshow bringing to life the hit BBC children’s programme.
Reinforcing the firm’s commitment to attracting promising graduates, Matt Crawford joins after studying computing at the University of West England. His role as technical engineer has already included preparations for the Goodwood Festival of Speed and an Arctic Monkeys gig in Sheffield.
