L.E.Q.

Phillip Covell

 

I was a founder of L.E.Q. the boutique broadcast and film technology hire, production, personnel, creative services, and sales company, an evolution of the Lightweight Equipment Company. The company operated in this manner from 2001 to 2014 before transitioning into a sales and consultancy company.

 

  • I successfully managed and expanded operations, building a solid client base including international Film, TV and Media giants.

 

  • Implemented effective B2B business strategies, providing production, production technology and personnel contracts.

 

  • Delivered high-quality production contracts for various projects, including films with budgets up to $115M, TV dramas, scripted/unscripted shows, motorsport, documentaries, music videos, commercials and awards.

 

  • Provided training for a $10M ITN/Accenture EMEA News project, ensuring successful completion of the project.

 

  • Offered invaluable advice to a client, resulting in a $2.8M technology sale to a high-profile studio project in China.
