John Tipling

Sales Manager, Carillion Communications Ltd

Helping clients to understand and select appropriate audio visual solutions since 2001 - working for both specialist audio visual system integrators and also one of the largest independent IT services organisations in Europe. I believe that well delivered technology solutions have a huge part to play in delivering true collaboration. Today's technology solutions genuinely have the potential to fundamentally change the way that we think about work. CTS certified member of AVIXA carrying a number of accreditations that relate to audio visual best practice and the specification of audio visual technologies, control systems and videoconferencing. On a day-to-day basis my role is to work directly with clients and help them to find the right solutions to make faster, more efficient business decisions and reduce the costs associated with unnecessary travel. I'm offended by bad meeting room design and "false economy" design choices that do nothing but cause issues for end users and undermine key investments.
