Richard Chilvers Joins 5 Star
The 5 Star Cases sales team has expanded with the addition of Richard Chilvers (pictured), who joins as technical sales representative.
Chilvers has been a 5 Star case user for 10 years, ever since his early days as an apprentice with leading Leicestershire lighting rental company, Hawthorn Theatrical. He's also worked as a technical manager at top producing and receiving theatre venues, including the Kings Lynn Corn Exchange and Arts Centre and the Princess Theatre in Hunstanton.
Joining 5 Star from Ely-based AV supplier QAV, Chilvers said: "5 Star's cases are the best in the business, and I'm very excited about working with such a great company selling such great products."
Since Chilvers started in the industry, he's cased just about everything imaginable with Cambridgeshire based 5 Star - from conventional elements like lighting, sound and AV kit of all descriptions to more unusual objects like beer pumps!
He's also an active musician, playing drums and bass guitar in addition to learning the mandolin, has qualifications in technical theatre, electrical installations and PAT testing and works as a freelance lighting and sound engineer in whatever spare time he has.
5 Star's MD Keith Sykes says: "Richard brings a wealth of industry experience from touring, rental and installation operations - so he really knows a thing or two about the benefits of good flight-casing! He has a great attitude and loads of enthusiasm for the business, so fits in perfectly with our proactive sales team."
