As proud members of the Production Services Association, The Training Department and the Production Department are delighted to announce that founder Joe Chilvers has joined the PSA Council.
The PSA is the largest trade association for individuals and companies involved in live production, with a mission to represent, improve, educate, and develop the business of technical production for live events.
Commenting on his appointment, Joe Chilvers said:
“Now serving as a Council Member of the Production Services Association (PSA), I’m committed to helping build a more connected, collaborative, and forward-looking production services sector – one that values people, shares knowledge openly, and sets higher standards for the future of the industry.
“We’re looking forward to continuing our work with the PSA community to support, inspire, and empower the future of live events production.”
The company’s support for the PSA is rooted in a shared mission to raise industry standards through improved health, safety, welfare, education, and training. Through the Training Department’s foundation-level courses, individuals will be given the opportunity to build practical skills, grow in confidence, and raise the standard of live event delivery.
Hannah Ratcliffe, General Manager of the PSA, commented: “Joe’s enthusiasm and commitment to the industry is infectious, and the desire to support and grow the talent in the industry really shines in the development of The Training Department.
“The courses offered are a great way for members to expand and diversify their skills. We were delighted when he submitted his manifesto to join the council, and are so pleased to have him on board”
The PSA’s bursary scheme supports access to education, including courses delivered by The Training Department, offering members funding opportunities to help remove financial barriers and make professional development more accessible for those entering or advancing within the industry.
