Joe Marter spent a number of years at Aurora in the role of equipment co-ordinator
UK - Television and entertainment lighting rental specialists Aurora has announced the addition of Joe Marter to their project management team. Having spent a number of years at Aurora in the role of equipment co-ordinator, responsible for the preparation and maintenance of a wide variety of lighting equipment, Joe brings with him an industry perspective and a serious understanding of the company's product range.

With additional experience gained through his time as technical manager with London Light, the transition to project manager allows Joe to capitalise on a considerable knowledge of all aspects of entertainment lighting to support and service productions at the highest level.

On shifting roles within the company Joe says, "It's incredibly exciting to be taking on a new role within a company that I understand so well - I've worked as part of the Aurora team for several years, so I know exactly how we operate and, more importantly, I know exactly what Production expects from us."

Moving within the Aurora ranks means that Joe has been able to settle into his new role relatively quickly, having already presided over a variety of high profile projects including Love Island, Would I Lie to You and Aurora's largest logistics challenge to date, Can't Touch This.

Commenting on the appointment, VER European sales director Adrian Offord says: "We're delighted that Joe has chosen to make the move internally. Expanding the Aurora project management team will obviously enhance our service - however, with his in-depth equipment knowledge and industry understanding, recruiting Joe from within brings an even greater strength to the team."
