Entedi closed out a remarkable 2024 with major announcements that set the stage for continued growth in 2025 and beyond. With an expanding team, the announcement of a brand-new Board of Directors, and some exciting plans for the New Year, Entendi are all about keeping things fresh, innovative, and for the creatives.
Founder Cally Bacchus reflected on the year, saying: “2024 was a whirlwind of everything I love about this industry. Our team has grown, our partners continue to amaze us with their boundary-pushing innovations, and we’re thrilled to be backing the next generation of industry talent through our technical partnership at RADA.”
“We’re loving the journey—because isn’t that what it’s all about? After an 18-month marathon of growth, I’m delighted to announce some key updates to our team and the launch of our Board of Directors to guide us into this exciting new chapter,” Cally teased.
Effective January 1st, 2025, Cally Bacchus will step into the role of CEO; Erik Lynas will become Managing Director; Marcel Wijnberger will transition to Technical Director.
“These changes in our structure mark the next step in Entedi’s evolution,” Marcel Wijnberger quipped, “and so whilst we may have new titles, the mission and our goals remain the same.”
Marcel shared a sneak peek of what’s coming in 2025: “New Offices: We’re relocating to a larger warehousing and office space in the North of England! Why? More stock = faster fulfilment = happier customers. More Training and Demo Space: Expanded facilities = even more opportunities to get hands-on with the tech, complementing our existing showcasing facilities at RADA in London, and Claypaky at ARRI STAGE in Uxbridge.
Continuing greatness across Ireland and Northern Ireland: Shout-out to our Dublin and Belfast teams for continually setting the bar high for customer service and technical expertise across Ireland and Northern Ireland.”
Erik Lynas added: “The creation of the board is all about setting the business up for further success – we can already tell 2025 is going to be a whole lot MORE.
“More exciting new fixtures, more time visiting our amazing customers, and more opportunities to support our wonderful industry.”
Lynas continued: “I’m thrilled that after the successful acquisition of CP Wave earlier this year, Paddy Stacey will lead the charge on all things Claypaky for Entedi and will form a key part of our senior management team.
“I’m also incredibly proud to announce that long-term office manager and the backbone of our day-to-day activities, Lynn Bingham, will move into her newly created role of Operations Manager.”
Entedi’s drive and ambition remain focused on supporting our clients and the wider UK and Irish markets. This momentum isn’t just fuel for the tank—it’s turbo-powering our plans for a BIG 2025 as we continue to recruit top-tier industry talent to further increase our offerings in technical support, service, training and sales.
