Australia - Following the news that LSC Control Systems will distribute the products of UK-based Avolites in Australia and New Zealand, LSC has announced the appointment of a dedicated Avolites specialist. Clare Springett, as business development manager Avolites Australia and New Zealand, will head up sales and support for the famous lighting control brand in the region, beginning with immediate effect.
A well-known presence in Australia’s professional show production world, Clare is an experienced lighting designer, production manager, arts practitioner, venue manager and theatre technician.
Most recently she worked as sales and hire manager at Concert Lighting Systems Australia and was the touring LD and operator for Tim Minchin’s 2024 tour Unfunny – An Evening with Tim Minchin and his Piano. Also on her resumé, she is a Green Room Award nominee (Lighting Design) and was acting chairperson for the VAPAC Technical Managers Network in 2018 and 2019.
“We have an exciting opportunity to build a really strong and supportive Avolites community here, and I’m very chuffed to be a part of it as it takes off,” says Clare.
LSC, the Melbourne, Australia-based manufacturer of advanced dimming, power distribution and power management solutions, was acquired by Robe lighting s.r.o. in early 2024, joining Avolites as part of the Robe group of businesses. In August it was announced that LSC would represent the Avolites brand in its home territory, and the search began for a professional to lead that effort.
LSC’s general manager Greg Lowe comments, “We’re delighted that Clare has joined us to take on this challenge. With her range of skills and experience we have no doubt that she will play a valuable role in our expanding operation.”
