UK - Follow-Me has appointed Luke Edwards to the role of designer relations liaison UK. With extensive experience in both the creative and technical sides of the live event industry, Edwards will play a pivotal role in supporting the company’s growth in the UK market by bridging any possible gap between designers, technicians, rental companies and production managers considering using Follow-Me’s performer tracking systems on their shows.
Edwards' career began in Belgium, working in sound and lighting rentals. In lighting design he has toured globally with artists such as Gary Numan, Kelis, Jessie J, and Jacob Collier. He worked in LED video rental and virtual production, before taking on a designer relations role at Vari-Lite.
“I’m excited to step into this new role with Follow-Me, where I can help designers fully understand what our system can offer,” says Edwards. “What excites me most is the opportunity to show the possibilities of lighting design with a system that breaks away from traditional boundaries. We are no longer limited to conventional ways of working with lights and Follow-Me offers a new and exciting way to enhance performances.”
Marc Van der Wel, managing director at Follow-Me, adds: "We’re very happy Luke is joining our team to forge a much closer connection with our current and growing user and client base within the UK."
