Dave Marshall, Director
“It seems obvious to me, but no matter who your client is … whether they’re a Global CEO, Prime Minister, Association, Brand Manager, Producer, School… whoever, you have to be able to dig deep and solve every individual requirement in a timely manner with dedication, forward planning, creativity and finally a seamless delivery … and most important, you have to honestly enjoy what you do – while you’re doing it.”
PAUL NEWTON, DIRECTOR
“Having the ability to multi-task and understand the expectations, needs and sensitivities of everyone involved are what make a unified and successful effort… at the end of the day, you need everyone on the same page with the same end goal and focus to ensure a flawless production – that’s what we do.”
Simon Crossett, General Manager
“I see this as an all-encompassing position. It’s my job to assist and work in unison with the entire team to further develop our strategies, structures and overarching systems. I am first in the queue when it comes to being an active contributor to theEAR’s ongoing growth and development.”
Greg Archibald, Project Manager
“I pride myself in realising every possible scenario during the pre-production phase, before arriving onsite. With a bit of planning, you can navigate all of those annoying little spot fires we all love so much to deliver a project as it was imagined. As Sir William Connolly once said, ‘Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn’t try it on…’”
Pauly Wilson, Project Manager
“Although our business falls under technical production, for me it’s more about the people involved. Building an event or ‘atmosphere’, by reducing client stress levels, by lifting confidence in performers, and by empowering crew to deliver at world-class levels. Don’t get me wrong… I love the gear, but it’s the people and the relationships made along the way that keeps me coming back for more.”
JOHNNIE McGARRITY, PROJECT MANAGER
"Creating the perfect show is not just about delivering entertainment, it's about crafting an experience that transports audiences to a world beyond their own. From the lighting to the music, from the stage design to the visuals, every detail must be carefully considered and masterfully executed to create a truly unforgettable experience. It is the dedication to this level of excellence that sets the truly exceptional shows apart from the rest.”
MATTHEW RUSSELL, TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
“Ultimately, the success of any project hinges on the strength of its planning, it is the foundation upon which every great event is built. It enables you to develop strategies, allocate resources, manage risks, and stay on track, no matter what challenges you may face once onsite. An essential ingredient in achieving ‘Best ever’ experiences”
DEAN ODGERS, TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
"In this industry, every event demands the same level of precision and passion. The magic happens when a team works seamlessly together, pushing boundaries and creating moments that audiences will not soon forget."
Paul Whitby, Lighting Director
“I really love the entire process of putting a show together. Having said that, for me it’s got to be the collaboration that’s the real stand out. Working quietly one on one or with a seriously massive team all focused on the one goal is my proverbial light at the end of the tunnel… get it?”
Young Hun (Steve) Kim, Head of Audio
“A strong work ethic is vital to achieving any goal you have in life. My discipline or emphasis has always been around Quality, Integrity, and Answerability. Do what you say you are going to do, and do it to the very best of your ability. Its good to be part of a team that believes in the same things”
Seamus Farrell, Senior Technician
“As a senior member of our delivery team, I am on-hand throughout the project to manage, quality control and to take on the responsibility for our clients' success. And as an individual, I continuously strive for the highest possible quality - I think our clients appreciate that.”
ADRIAN KERO, AUDIO VISUAL & IT SPECIALIST
"Technology has the power to elevate our pursuit of perfection to new heights, enabling us to achieve what was once considered impossible. It is not just a tool, but an invaluable partner in our quest for excellence, helping us to realise our clients vision and bring their ideas to life with precision and efficiency. The possibilities as tech evolves are truly limitless.”
Tam Morris, Multimedia & Design
“The one thing that truly hooks people into any experience, is a good story. It turns a simple by-stander into a participant, a viewer into an eyewitness and a group of people into an audience. Think of any and all visual creation in terms of the world it will occupy.”
