New members of Deluxe digital cinema group

New year, new beginnings and new faces at Deluxe! We have had two significant additions to the Deluxe Digital Cinema Europe team this month.

The first one is Laurence Claydon, who is so famous that he needs no introduction or picture. Many of you will have known him for the stellar work he previously did for Bell Theatre Services (BTS), such as the sound work on the London Empire flagship cinema, which you can read about here (Empire Cinema - DriveRack 4800). Laurence will be our imaging guru and we are extremely lucky to have his skills and expertise on our side. Those of you who haven't met him yet will do soon, no doubt.


The second is Caroline Wignall (above), who has joined us from the On Demand Group (ODG). Her previous career reads like a Who's Who of media companies, taking in as it does everything from MTV to Disney. Caroline is our Operations Manager who makes sure that everything runs smoothly and keeping an eye on all our projects.

Sitting as I do next to her in our office I can confirm that not only is her desk tidier than anyone elses in the building (although it is only her first week), but that she also has an amazing grasp of tools such as MS Project Professional, Visio and other software tools. She also asks all the right questions and offers insightfull input into how we should plan and structure our effoerts. All of which will help transform our efforts from ad-hoc crisis management solutions to a slick and well oiled digital cinema machine.

She is also very smart and friendly, which you will find out for yourselves when you see her at the next meeting of the usual digital cinema suspects.
