Ben's complete understanding of equipment and production is the result of many years working within the lighting industry in both 'hands-on' and customer support roles.
Having graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama, Ben gained invaluable experience early in his career working as a freelance lighting tech on a wide variety of production types, from panto to film. Following three years with Trafalgar Lighting, Ben went on to join leading equipment supplier AC Entertainment Technologies ltd, progressing to a senior technical sales position where he was able to further expanded his product knowledge and hone his customer support skills.
As project manager at Aurora, Ben will be liaising with lighting designers, gaffers and production managers to offer support and advice on all aspects of the production process.
Managing director Nick Edwards notes, "Ben has not only a proven in depth equipment knowledge but he also understands the importance of strong customer support - It's a pleasure to welcome him to Aurora and we're looking forward to putting his project management skills to work."
