Nathan Hufford (He/Him)

I studied mechanical engineering, and moved to Broadcast where I worked in television for 7 years specialising in live and outside broadcast.   In 1992 I transitioned from television to AV and set up Hewshott in 2002 as an independent consultancy practice.  I lead the Hewshott Group worldwide, supporting each office across 3 continents as they collectively deliver projects for clients worldwide. Hewshott provides advice and project delivery resources in the AV, IT and Acoustic sectors, blending all three as required to support clients as they navigate through the technical challenges across multiple vertical markets. Outside of Hewshott, I have engineered numerous recordings and specialise in sacred music recorded on-site and have recorded in some wonderful buildings.   In my spare time, my engineering roots surface as I have two classic cars that are in a constant state of repair and maintenance, and the occasional modification.
