Electrosonic SA’s Suren Lutchman (Entertainment Lighting Technical Sales & Support) recently went on a Martin Professional training trip to Denmark and the Czech Republic. This is what he had to say.
Martin Professional:
The week began on Monday 8 September at Martin Professional’s HQ in Aarhus, Denmark’s second largest city and the country’s main port. There were attendees from all over Europe as well as from Japan and Singapore. The day’s training session kicked off with an introductory talk by Henrik Christensen, the new manager for Martin’s service team, which consists of eight people. Henrik mentioned that in the future Martin will focus more on training, and I discussed with him the possibility of getting some of his trainers to come out to South Africa.
