Stuart Tickle appointed to CEDIA Board

Stuart Tickle, owner of and Managing Director at AWE, joins the CEDIA Board of Directors

Following an extensive interview and selection process of nominated trade suppliers, CEDIA announced the approval of Stuart Tickle and James Chen (Kordz) as Directors at its January meeting.

Stuart, who previously served as a Director of the CEDIA UK board from 2003 to 2009, said:

“It’s a huge honour to be elected to the CEDIA Board of Directors once again. CEDIA has a strong executive team headed globally by Daryl. Having met most already, I am excited to be joining a dedicated board who are investing their time alongside other volunteers to help steer our industry and trade association in an even stronger direction.

Since the announcement was made and after speaking with many at ISE, I have been very encouraged by the many kind words spoken to me from industry friends and peers. What comes across is that CEDIA is recognised as an essential pillar of our industry that does a lot of great work, but that it is also expected to add even more value. I want to help the board and team enable that to happen.”

CEDIA Global President and CEO Daryl Friedman, commented:

“Stuart was one of the first people I met when I joined CEDIA, and from that first insightful meeting I was impressed by his knowledge and commitment to this industry. I am delighted to continue to have his insights in the Boardroom and welcome him to the Board at this exciting time.”

Stuart joins two existing board members who are also from the UK, integrators Melanie Malcolm (Bespoke Home Cinemas) and James Ratcliffe (Homeplay). The full CEDIA Board of Directors is a diverse group representing a broad range of skills, regions, and business sectors. The full list can be found at cedia.org/about-us/board-of-directors.
