Polecam details structural changes

To enable the portable camera crane company to expand its operations both in Europe and around the globe, a shareholding has been taken by Graeme Chapman, former MD of Olympus UK and president of consumer business within Europe.

“Polecam is a unique company with fantastic products,” says Chapman. “Steffan Hewitt, the current owner, has ambitious plans for the company and my joining will enable those plans to be realised.”

Hewitt has stepped down as MD to concentrate on product development and sales. Chapman takes over the role and has immediately formed a board comprising himself, Hewitt and Jonathan Lewis of Reid and Co as FD.

The company recently announced the rights to global distribution for the Resolve Optics Z10-HDcf power zoom lens.
