QEIICC strengthens a-v team

Geny Caloisi, 21 November 2008

Derek Chalmers, production manager at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre (QEIICC), has passed the Infocomm Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) examination. The in-house a-v department at the QEIICC already has sound engineer Joe Chilvers with the qualification.

To pass the exam Chalmers had to be proficient in the subjects of power, sound, video/data, microphones, projectors, screens and all calculations that are required for different clients.

Jonathan Byrne, QEIICC commercial director, said: 'It is a credit to Derek that he is within a small number of European candidates to have obtained this qualification. Under the QEIICC's Investors In People programme, we continually offer support to our employees and will be looking for more members of staff to reach these high standards.'
