Newly-launched lighting sales company Robe UK has expanded its sales team with the appointment of Andy Holland as business development manager. Holland’s interest in lighting was first sparked at the age of 14 - initially an enthusiastic hobby that led to a part-time job, and then regular semi-professional freelance work. A qualified rigger - Holland attended a BTEC rigging course at Total Fabrication in conjunction with the PSA - and is currently studying for his City & Guilds 23/60 electrician’s certificate. He also runs his own lighting company, The Mobile Lighting Company, providing lighting and sound services to the entertainment industry.His role for Robe UK is to further develop the theatre, arts and performance markets for Robe Show Lighting’s product range. Holland has been working hands-on with Robe products for some time, owning, installing and dry hiring much of the range himself. It was this real brand awareness combined with his industry and production experience that prompted Robe UK’s managing director Ian Brown to get him onboard the Robe UK team.
Brown comments: "I’m delighted that Andy’s working with us. Theatre and the performing arts is an important market, and we are looking forward to an active presence and positive results."
