“Steve comes to us with a wealth of experience in the broadcast industry and I am confident that under his leadership the engineering teams will be even more efficient and effective for our customers,” said Videocraft GM Rod Coleman.
With the professional technology landscape changing at a rapid pace, Kilsby said it was an incredible opportunity to join the business.
“Videocraft has shown its constant commitment to innovation, new technologies and customer service time and time again over the years and its recent acquisition of Digistor makes the group a true force to be reckoned with across all the industries they serve,” he said.
“It’s an exciting time to be part of this group and I very much look forward to adding value to our teams and our customers.”
