Andy like many of the people that work with Think Audio Productions has a full time job, he works for the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 Team in (you’ve guessed it!) the logistics department, his main roles are to make sure the right parts are sent to each race track he also packs and stocks the large race trucks that service the race team garages at the circuits.
Name: Les Bruce
Email: Les@thinkaudioproductions.co.uk
Role: Too Many To List
Profile:Les, Craig’s dad has seen Think Audio Productions grow from many angles; he has been the unsung hero on many occasions. Driving people/equipment around at the last minute to get to a show or building contraptions to make things fit together that were never designed to! He seems happy to wait around for hours on end when a load out goes from one hour to four hours due to circumstances out of anyone’s control. He magically fixes things that look like they have seen better days. Les’s full time job is an estates manager; I am sure he is the only person that drive’s a 4x4 and uses it off road like they were designed to! One fact about Les not many people know is that he has amazing English grammar and spelling skills, he will be proof reading every word on this website. “We Thank You” from all the Think Audio Team!
Name: Lucy Miles
Email: Lucy@thinkaudioproductions.co.uk
Role: Trainee Deputy Stage Manager
Profile: Lucy has been with us for around 8 months now; we picked her up at the 2006 Live Nation Stage Experience project where she was head of props. Lucy stood out from the crowd with an enthusiastic approach to any task she was given, we took Lucy on board as she really wanted to take on the role of DSM for next years project (Disney’s High School Musical) and with the help of Jon Robinson we gave Lucy the experience & knowledge that she needed to fulfill her goal, Lucy has come a long way since last year and is still wanting to come out on any shows we do. Following her hard work we are glad to announce that Lucy has just been offered the job of DSM from the Live Nation production team, we wish her all the luck, we will of course be keeping a close eye on her performance throughout the production and I’m sure she will be a shining star.
