Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: A/V specialist Esco Pte Ltd has appointed Gavin Russell Smith as its president of engineering and design. Based in Singapore, one of Mr Smith’s key priorities is to standardise practises across the various Esco offices.
A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Mr Smith has previously worked in the Asia Pacific region in a variety of roles, including consultancy. ‘It’s good to be working with consultants in my new role as I fully understand their needs,’ commented Mr Smith. ‘I joined Esco as they have set high goals, with the ultimate aim to be the best in the region, not to be attached necessarily to any specific brand. They want to provide the customer with the best solution for the intent of the space whilst fully embracing the fast moving A/V and IT convergence market.’
‘Esco has regional offices and dealer networks providing professional A/V support for turnkey installations, integration services and equipment supply across the region with direct offices in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, the Philippines, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam and Korea,’ commented Esco MD Eric Lim. ‘Gavin’s appointment is a further testimony to the high goals we set ourselves as a solutions-based company. His expertise blended with his innovative ideas will take Esco to a new level.
‘Our customers expect the same high level of expertise to be provided whether they deploy in Pune or Manila and we are here to ensure that happens,’ furthered Mr Lim. ‘There is no lack of competency at Esco and through open communications we will improve the customer experience. We are reactive to new products and technologies, but we’re also welcoming new recruits with fresh ideas from different backgrounds.’
In the near future Esco plans to open a new office in Sydney.
