Zero 88 has appointed Grant Bales-Smith to the newly-created project sales role. Bales-Smith has spent nearly eight years in the industry, gaining broad base experience in hire, events, sales and projects. He moves from Salisbury-based Stagecraft, where his most recent focus was projects and installation work. In his new role, Bales-Smith will be directly responsible for identifying and developing larger-scale projects and working closely with the company’s UK dealer network to manage the installations through to completion.

"With the increasing convergence of entertainment and architectural applications and the recent launch of Frog and Chilli products focused at this sector, Grant will have a pivotal role in developing new UK business for the brand," said Tim Burt, Zero 88 brand manager. "The experience gained at Stagecraft, coupled with the working knowledge he has of our products, will give us immediate access to the larger projects we have previously been unable to target directly." Grant will be working closely with Lorna Parsons, who will continue to manage the UK dealers with day-to-day sales enquiries, training and support.

Zero 88 has also announced that Franck Tiesing has taken on new responsibilities as Northern Europe market manager. Since joining Zero 88 in July last year, Tiesing has successfully managed Zero 88's transition from an exclusive to an open network in Germany. With the German market now established, his skills we now be used to manage and support the northern European countries of Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. Tiesing will continue to support the German network. "Over the last nine months Franck has proved to be an invaluable addition to the team. He has set up and developed the German marketplace in a very short space of time, gaining the respect of our customers and industry peers along the way. With Zero 88 experiencing continued growth in Europe, increasing his area of responsibility is a natural progression," said Burt.
