Harvey Goldsmith CBE has joined the board of Manchester-based online crewing platform and tech insights company, Entourage Pro.
Goldsmith is the promoter behind events and acts including LiveAid, The Rolling Stones, The Jam, Madonna and Queen.
“I’m excited to join this young, pioneering company,” he said.
“EP has succeeded in bringing six major components of the live entertainment sector together in one accessible eco-system. Having recognised that the industry has long needed digitising, they have managed not only to create something entirely new, but something that is simple to use and benefits all stakeholders in the process.”
Entourage Pro was set up by Joel Perry and James Stanbridge. It’s described as the world’s first verified private global crewing network and places freelance operators on tours and gigs.
“We’re thrilled to have Harvey join us. He’s a true industry visionary whose wealth of knowledge has already proved indefatigable,” explained Perry.
“Harvey knows that in order to implement change, you have to convince people that change is necessary. He knows better than anyone how to communicate that message and we’re already seeing the results.”
