Version 2 has welcomed the arrival of Rob Turner as Warehouse Manager, Matt Gubby as Asset Manager, and the return of Ollie Perry as Hire Desk Manager marks a significant reinforcement of the company’s operational infrastructure and its ongoing commitment to delivering service to the UK broadcast and live event sectors.
Rob Turner joins Version 2 as Warehouse Manager, bringing over twenty years of high-level warehousing and logistics expertise. Turner’s career has seen him progress from frontline operations to senior management, most recently within a prominent AV rental firm. His track record includes managing complex, large-scale logistics for major international events.
In his new role, Turner will focus on optimising day-to-day operations to ensure maximum accuracy and responsiveness. “Version 2 has a fantastic team atmosphere, and I am delighted to be part of it,” said Turner. “My priority is ensuring our customers receive the most efficient service possible. In this industry, proactive management and meticulous attention to detail are what build long-term trust.”
Matt Gubby steps into the role of Asset Manager, a position critical to maintaining the high technical standards for which Version 2 is known. With a diverse background spanning warehouse management, logistics, and retail, Gubby is tasked with overseeing the company’s extensive inventory and managing complex transport schedules.
“Our commitment to detail ensures that customers can rely on both our service and our equipment,” Gubby explained. “As Asset Manager, I ensure our kit maintains the highest standards so that the end-user always receives the best possible product. In a fast-paced industry, this also means being agile enough to accommodate last-minute transport movements to meet urgent production needs.”
Completing the management expansion, Ollie Perry returns to the Version 2 rental team as Hire Desk Manager. Perry will serve as the primary point of contact for all Trade Dry Hire clients, while also providing vital support for the company’s Full Production Projects. His remit includes quote preparation, shortage management, and the coordination of crew and transport.
“The people are what truly make Version 2 special,” said Perry. “I see first-hand the care and attention that goes into preparing our equipment. My role is to ensure that from the initial quote to the final delivery, our production requirements are met with the level of service our clients expect.”
Commenting on the appointments, Version 2 General Manager Joe Marter said: “We’re delighted to welcome Rob and Matt to Version 2, and see Ollie return to the rental team. These appointments come at a time of continued growth for Version 2 as we expand our footprint in the UK lighting market.”
