Pete Heffernan joins Christie Lites Rentals
- Details
Heffernan said, “Christie Lites is a company that puts the client first and has a methodology that in my opinion is tops in the industry. I have always placed the client’s needs first and then provided the support to make the production a success. Christie Lites is the perfect place for me to take this approach to the next level.”
Heffernan has relocated to Nashville and will focus on customer relations and market development for Christie Lites, whose scope includes concert tours, special events, corporate/industrial presentations, theatre, and television & film.
Heffernan has already been introduced to the Christie Lites business model which calls for all offices in the Christie Lites rental network to work together for support - a model he admires, he said. “I am totally knocked out by the warehouse structure of Christie Lites. I have been in two and they are strikingly similar in setup, which allows the consistency of service from one shop to the next. With the many locations of Christie Lites, a job can be prepped from a nearby location, cutting down on trucking but allowing the client to know that the same top quality gear will arrive at their gig.”
Heffernan got his start in the industry working with bands and artists such as Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Def Leppard, The Outlaws, and on support tours including Iron Maiden, AC/DC, The Scorpions, Foghat, Def Leppard, Molly Hatchet, and The Marshall Tucker Band.
CL CEO Huntly Christie comments, “Pete is a straight shooter with an infectious out-of-the-box attitude. I personally look forward to working closely with him. His business savvy and long term industry relationships will be a great asset to the Christie Lites family.”
