STAFF. Kevin Hopcroft
In April 2002 Kevin formed this company, PREMIER SOLUTIONS, which is dedicated to providing solutions to any special audio, lighting or fragrance application. During the 40 years Kevin's career has taken him in amazingly diverse directions. He started in 1967 as a Disc Jockey at Nottingham's "Junktion Club". He later opened the "Cat Ballou Club" in Grantham, before starting his first Mobile Discotheque "The New Junktion Record Review". This later grew into an entertainment agency "New Junktion Discotheques" and branched into manufacture as "NJD Electronics". These two businesses subsequently merged into the now famous "NJD Ltd." During this evolution Kevin was also a member of "Equity" and performed not only as a DJ, but also as a Comedian, Compére and Cabaret Dancer and for many years served on the PLASA (Professional Lighting & Sound Association) committee. He later became Chairman of PLASA and was responsible for taking the PLASA Show to Earls Court. His vast knowledge, gained over the years, is now available to you to recommend exactly the right equipment for your particular application.
