"Winnipeg is a great city with plenty of culture and entertainment," said Christie Lites CEO Huntly Christie. "I am very pleased that Christie Lites will be able to offer local support to the many events which use stage lighting."
The new Winnipeg office is located at 25 Terracon Place, Unit 19. Although the official opening is set for 1 May, Christie Lites is already fulfilling immediate lighting needs by servicing show productions in the area.
Ken Alexander, VP Rentals for Christie Lites: "The Winnipeg market is already welcoming the Christie Lites Rentals team and equipment to town with open arms. The new shop location will be supplied from our nationwide inventory of state-of-the-art lighting and rigging equipment; this includes the latest in Martin moving lights, TourRig double brake motors, and a large stock of grandMA and Martin consoles, to name just a few."
Along with its extensive inventory, the new office is staffed with an experienced team of industry professionals. More than a dozen of Christie Lites' Canadian Rental Reps are already supplying clients within the Manitoba marketplace, Alexander said.
Leading the Winnipeg team are Ben Kantorovich and Gary Sywake.
