Element Labs Appoints Andrew Hawker
Element Labs has announced that it has appointed Andrew Hawker as senior project manager, Europe and Middle East. Andrew will be based in Element Labs’ London offices and will lead the company’s newly created dedicated European project management and support team.
Andrew has over 25-years’ experience working within the events, broadcast TV and corporate communication industries. Prior to joining Element Labs, he held senior commercial and technical positions at Blitz Communications and Creative Technology (London). Over the course of his career, Andrew has played a key role in the success of many high-profile projects, including the Athens 2004 Olympic opening and closing ceremonies, where he acted as video and projection consultant for Jack Morton Public Events.
The appointment of Hawker forms part of Element Labs’ continued investment in its growth and expansion strategy. Building on its long and successful partnerships with companies in the events, broadcast and architectural markets, Element Labs continues to enhance its professional infrastructure by creating a dedicated project management and support team based in the company’s UK and Germany offices. The newly created team has three very specific goals: to help existing clients use innovative new technologies, to support new clients who use Element Labs products for the first time and finally to help creatives, designers and architects realize unique, custom projects in the entertainment and architectural markets.
Says Claas Ernst, European managing director for Element Labs: “We are enormously proud to have Andrew on board. He is well-known and respected throughout the AV industry and he brings a wealth of experience – both technical and commercial – to the table. As we continue to expand, we seek to bring the industry’s top profiles into the company, and Andrew is certainly one of them.”
Adds Nils Thorjussen, CEO of Element Labs: “2008 will become a very exciting year for us. As we continue to expand our international footprint and roll-out the new products we have lined up for next year, we also continue to grow the team to support this growth.”
Concludes Hawker: “I have known the team at Element Labs for quite a few years now and have seen the company grow and go from strength to strength over the past few years. Element Labs has become one of the leaders in the LED display solutions industry and they’re at a very exciting point in the company’s continued evolution. This is a very challenging time for me to join the company and help it realize its growth plans.”
