Yamaha has recently announced that it has partnered with Entourage Pro, a global networking platform to source and accredit production industry personnel.

Yamaha had become an official partner of the platform of a platform covering 140 professional freelance roles in a wide range of technical disciplines – including sound, lighting, video, staging, production management, logistics, catering, artist services and more.

“The moment we were introduced to the concept of Entourage Pro, the team at Yamaha immediately recognised the opportunities that it could bring to both crew and production companies,” says Karl Christmas, European product manager at Yamaha Music Europe GmbH.

“We are very pleased that Yamaha is an official partner of Entourage Pro,” adds Joel Perry, one of the directors of Entourage Pro. “As with all of our partners, the company is a world leader in live entertainment technology which has firmly embraced the Entourage Pro vision for the future. As we establish ourselves as the vehicle for freelance crew to secure work in a new way, aligning with brands such as Yamaha gives us a strength in global reach and visibility which is vital to our success.”
