SVG Europe has a long and distinguished history in bringing together people from across the sports broadcasting industry to collaborate and share ideas and experience. Having been a member whilst working for previous employers I am keen to bring RaceTech into the fold for the mutual benefit of our organisation and industry peers alike.”
