Eric Greenop: “I am delighted to be joining AVEX International as MD of the UK entity and looking forward very much to working with Rene Schaddelee and his excellent team to grow the domestic and international AVEX / GPA business.

As an RBU, AVEX represents the GPA for the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Clients are looking for a partner that can take care of the complex audio-visual projects, design, fully program-managed implementation and ongoing service management across complex international borders. AVEX together with GPA provides just that”.
