TMB has announced the hiring of the company’s first ever Australian employee, in a move which, they say, "will live in infamy." As part of TMB’s continuing worldwide expansion, Chris Curran has joined the sales team at TMB UK. Curran has an extensive background in professional lighting and rental operations down under, with four years as operations manager for Chameleon Touring Systems, and two-years as rental manager for Graftons Lighting. He has also had a long-standing relationship as a customer of TMB. While on walkabout in London, he stumbled into Paul Hartley, TMB’s European general manager, in a pub, and the next day woke up with a hangover and a job! In the words of Tony Davies from Chameleon: "Sometimes, to move backwards, you have to take a step forwards.""TMB has always been rampantly anti-Australian, even before last year’s vicious, unprovoked Koala attack on our sales manager, Tommy Stephenson," stated TMB’s CEO Colin Waters. "Considering this, the hiring of Chris Curran speaks volumes for his awesome talents and incredible good looks, not forgetting his unique athletic abilities."
