Lee Dennison

​

Lee started his audio career in regional theatre, working throughout England, before moving into the West End. He spent six years working for Autograph Sound and then a further seven as Projects director with Delta Sound. In 2015, Lee joined the White Light team as Head of Audio, overseeing its new, dedicated audio department. Lee continues to drive the high standards of delivery and engineering that is expected from the company as well as provide its clients with solutions and alternatives to an ever-changing live event market.

​

Having started life as a theatrical lighting hire company, White Light (WL) has expanded considerably and now offers its expert technical services to a range of sectors, including broadcast, live events, leisure, concert touring and education. The initial contact for many of its clients sits with the company's Head of Business Development Lee Dennison. 

Having transitioned from the world of audio, Lee's main focus is now developing and maintaining close client relationships. His role allows him to drive WL's business development and, as such, he plays a significant role in the customer's journey with WL. He provides a constant level of support as well as being a point of contact throughout any project, ensuring that customers have the most positive experience possible with the company.  . 

What WL offers its clients can be broken into two parts: state-of-the-art technology and, most importantly, expert service.  The latter comes from the people that work for us, whether it's in-house staff or freelancers, and it's the knowledge and experience they all bring to our projects which gives clients an experience they wouldn't receive anywhere else. Whilst the world has changed, and continues to do so, customers still want that human connection and the ability to build, maintain and trust these personal relationships is key as we all move forward. So while WL will evolve and adapt to the times, it's our people that remain fundamental to this process.
