Newly formed AVPM Group names Mark Tildesley director

Mark Tildesley has joined the board of the newly formed AVPM Group as a director.

Tildesley was formerly enterprise sales director for EMEA at Clevertouch. Prior to that, he spent more than 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.

AVPM Group comprises AV Partsmaster, which turned over more than £20m in 2023, and new brands IT Partsmaster and Collab AV.

IT Partsmaster will deliver a complete portfolio of hardware, software and services-based technology, while Collab will specialise in the design, installation and support of AV and collaboration technology solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

Tildesley said: “AV Partsmaster is an exciting, customer-focused business that has grown rapidly in the last five years and is on an ambitious journey.

“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.”

Rosanna Waldron, meanwhile, has joined AVPM Group as general manager. She has 14 years’ experience with distributors Just Lamps, Stampede, Exertis and, most recently, Hypertec.

AVPM Group managing director Paul Jennings said: “Bringing Mark and Rosanna on board reinforces an ambitious plan for 2024.

“Mark brings proven expertise working with leading brands in collaboration and having worked with him as a customer, I know his dedication to delivering an excellent experience will run through everything we do.
