Industry specialist Mark Tildesley has joined the board of newly formed AVPM Group as Director, to be part of driving growth with two new brands, alongside the highly successful business AV Partsmaster.

Mark joins the business from the role as Enterprise Sales Director EMEA at Clevertouch, where he led the growth strategy of the award-winning portfolio of technology solutions with teams and partners across EMEA into the Enterprise market. This involved driving the adoption of these solutions in the corporate market and working to deliver record revenues with enterprise customers throughout the pandemic and hybrid working revolution. Previously he spent over two decades with Maverick, a TD SYNNEX company, working with leading brands to shape the emerging market for collaboration solutions including the UK launch of the Microsoft Surface Hub in 2015. 

AV Partsmaster reached £20million+ turnover in 2023, and now the business’s leadership team will build on the achievements of one of the most successful AV retailers in Europe to support IT businesses and IT directors with a new sister company, IT Partsmaster. Driven by an easy-to-use e-commerce site, supported by technical experts, this new brand will deliver a complete portfolio of hardware, software and services based technology solutions to the customer while remaining true to the ethos of the original AV Partsmaster business of providing the optimal, customer first experience every time.

A new integration business, Collab AV, is also being launched within the group, designed to transform business experience through technology. Specialising in the design, installation and support of AV and collaboration Technology solutions, the team will work with small to medium sized businesses to provide end-to-end integration services where the user is always at the forefront of solution provided. 

Mark Tildesley explains:

“AV Partsmaster is an exciting, customer focussed business which has grown rapidly in the last five years and is on an ambitious journey. The team are brilliant technically and already delivering complex projects for world class brands. I’ll be joining the board to drive expansion of our services for our over 50,000 customers and help to build a business in line with the innovation in the market. We want to deliver the ultimate customer first experience.”

Mark will be joined by Rosanna Waldron as General Manager at AVPM Group, who joins with 14 years’ industry experience with distribution experts Just Lamps, Stampede, Exertis and most recently Hypertec.
