His expert skill-set includes creative technology design, technical specifications, vendor recommendations, on-site management for national and international delivery. His credentials include an impeccable 25 year industry reputation, but his point of difference is that willingness to take on the responsibility for success on every project he's involved in.

He is invaluable on any project and has the proven track record, exceptional Vectorworks drawings and the natural communication skills necessary to deal with anything thrown his way.
Paul began working in the live production arena 30 years ago. His first shift lasted 22 hours and he couldn’t wait to get back into it the next day. Since then, he has progressed through the ranks from tech, to TD, to technically managing one of the largest venues in the country. He has showcased the worlds leading corporate, musical & sporting entities to Australia. Paul now brings all of that experience back into doing what he loves the most – end to end project management.
Johnnie is a great account manager and even better show director. His experience can bring any creative vision to life, while effectively communicating the message.

He loves a challenge and adapts to changes as necessary to ensure every show's success. Ultimately, Johnnie creates that unforgettable experience for the audience and client alike. His very personality tends to leave a lasting impression that keeps them all coming back for more.
A good Technical Director is someone who not only possesses in-depth knowledge of every technical aspect of a project, but also has the excellent leadership and communication skills to deliver. A great one also has over 20 years experience of flawless execution. That is what Matthew brings to every project, every time, large or small.
Dean has spent over 15 years mastering the intricacies of live events, from intimate community shows to massive international concerts with over 70,000 attendees. His journey began at just 16 years old when he stepped into the industry and through dedication, hard work, and an insatiable passion for continuous learning, Dean strives to ensure every event is a faultless one.
At 15 years old, Paul walked into his local theatre company, up to the head technician and asked for a job stating, “I would like to work here, for free if I have to, and I want to do the lighting…”. Some 20 years later that passion still burns bright. Paul has toured the globe with Australia’s leading theatre companies, producers and choreographers continually bringing his unique theatricality to every design. His dedication to memorable, high impact performance lighting is complimented by a comprehensive knowledge encompassing all areas of presentation, production and design.
Young Hun (aka Steve) has a seriously strong knowledge base and over 15 years hands-on experience in Audio, Vision, Lighting and pretty much every other production technology. But that’s not all… he has Certs in Event Management, Rigging, First Aid, Training and assessment, as well as a Bachelor of Communications! While his list of credentials is impressive, his point of difference as a Senior Technician, is that willingness to take responsibility for the success of every project he's involved in.
Seamus is an extremely experienced event professional with an elemental customer centric attitude and purposeful commitment to every project large or small. His specialised technical expertise combined with true customer service places him at the top of the list of most sought after and well-respected operators in the industry.
Born into a Live Broadcast family, with an education and degree in Information Technology, Adrian has gained a true understanding, across numerous disciplines, of how things work technically. He is now a live events expert, dedicated to the clients vision and seamless delivery. With a steadfast work ethic and that extremely hard to find "coolness" in high-pressure, mission critical environments, he is the guy you want on your team.
