The P.A. People announces venue engineering team appointment

The P.A. People have announced that it has welcomed Tim Pike to its expanding venue engineering team in the role of State Manager for Queensland.

Announcing the appointment, Peter Grisard, The P.A. People’s Manager - Venue Engineering, advised “Tim will be based out of our new Queensland office on the Gold Coast.

“Tim’s appointment alongside the creation of a local presence in South-East Queensland are the first steps in extending our commitment to the servicing of performing arts centres, theatres and venues on a national basis.

“We are excited that Tim has decided to join our team.

“In conjunction with the existing Service team based in Sydney and a strong network of field technicians located across the East Coast, The P.A. People are now well positioned to expand their contract maintenance and breakdown services to stage machinery and venues.”

Pike, who has worked in theatrical engineering for the majority of his working life, commenced his career with Ray Calcutt in 1999, working his way through various positions in South-East Queensland and eventually becoming the Services Manager for Jands in 2014.

With the company having recently passed 50 years of operations, The P.A. People Managing Director, Chris Dodds noted “with the addition of our new venue engineering capability, we felt the time was right to increase the support we are able to offer all our installation, service and rental customers across the country.”

The new office in Queensland will play a key role in allowing the Company to provide preventative maintenance services for local venues and theatres, and it will also provide local installation and rental support capability for our existing customer base.

Nicky Dodds, The P.A. People’s Manager Event Communications, added “this is also a great opportunity for The P.A. People to further support our events clients and projects outside of Sydney.

“Having a local base to help support our existing clientele will be invaluable, as well creating the opportunity to expand our offering for our new Venue Engineering customers in Queensland” Nicky said.
