With 26 years’ experience in the AV industry, Davidson joined Kinly in 2016 as Service Delivery Director for Global Services and soon after became Technical Services Director, a role he will continue to perform in his new position. He said: “My previous position is folded into the new one. That means I now have responsibility for the design side of the business as well as the operations project delivery side. For me, that’s an important move because we’re seeing the industry continuously moving and changing, with technology being a key driver, so it makes sense for the operational and technical sides to come under one umbrella.” Reporting to Davidson, new Head of Consultancy and Design Mark Kempson, who joined Kinly in 2011, will support all national and some international AV, UCC and collaboration projects generated by the UK business, working closely with Kinly’s project management team and directly with clients. www.kinly.com ForFusion announces hat-trick of promotions North-East technology firm Forfusion, which designs, implements and manages mission-critical networking infrastructure for large public and private sector companies, has promoted several team members into key roles as it prepares to take on the multi-million pound global technology giants in switching UK businesses from traditional MPLS networks to faster, more reliable SD-WAN technology.
