LTM is a new, independently owned company with a new attitude and new horizons. It will specialise in the sale of Lodestar Motors and other rigging accessories for the professional leisure and entertainment industries.

Jones is joined by co-director David King. The LTM team is further boosted by Dawn Gerrard, Paul Hadfield and Dave Ward - all skilled and knowledgeable in the world of rigging and show presentation, and all previous colleagues at PCM. The hand-picked, tightly focused operation will concentrate on making life simple, friendly, efficient and cost-effective for the client.

Says Jones, "People can call up and speak directly to the person they need to, place their orders or arrange a demo with no faffing around!" He adds that it's great to be working in a smaller and highly motivated focussed environment once again, and that they are all looking forward to being in control of their own destiny.

Based in Birkenhead on the Wirral Peninsula - at the centre of the current Merseyside regeneration strategy - Lift Turn Move is ideally placed to take advantage of the countless positive energies embroiling the area. *See this month's last page interview for more from John Jones.
