First Sight Media has expanded its operations with the acquisition of 7,020 sq. ft. of new warehouse space, the appointment of Simon Gilbey as warehouse technician to manage the facility, and an investment of over £100k in new equipment.
The additional warehouse space increases the company’s total footprint to an impressive 7,020 sq. ft. from a starting point of just 1200 sq. ft. in 2012, reflecting its commitment to delivering exceptional service to its expanding client base.
As part of its ongoing investment in the latest technology, First Sight Media has purchased over £100K of new equipment, including over 30sqm of LED wall (used for digital signage and camera relay displays) and kit for providing full service content creation at events, in particular, on-site podcast and video interview studios.
Gilbey joins First Sight Media as AV warehouse technician; he brings extensive expertise in technology-driven operations and stock management across technology, telecoms, and event management sectors. With over two decades of experience, he has managed complex inventory systems, streamlining goods handling, and ensuring operational efficiency in fast-paced environments.
Rich Belcher, First Sight Media MD, said: “The new warehouse space will be used to store and manage our ever-expanding equipment inventory, but we also have plans to develop dedicated streaming and podcast studios within the warehouse, further enhancing our creative service offering.”
“This is a great opportunity, and I already feel part of the team. It feels like a seamless transition, and the excellent teamwork has made it easy. I’m looking forward to the future as we expand into the new warehouse,” Gilbey commented.
Belcher added: “I’d like to welcome Simon to the company; in line with the growth of the business, we have secured an even larger warehouse, which we are rapidly filling. Having a dedicated and experienced person managing inventory in this new role is crucial – Simon has already positively impacted operations in the short period of time he’s been here, and he is up for the challenge.”
