David March builds bridges between big ideas and the gear that makes them real. He helped shape the UK scene from every angle: he set up and managed value added distribution for VARI*LITE and High End Systems, co-founded Projected Image Digital (PID) when lighting met media, ran PRG Distribution, built the lighting arm at VER UK, jumped manufacturer-side at Green Hippo and advised on LED ecosystems at ROE Visual. Three decades in, his superpower is translation, turning a designer’s mood board into kit lists, partners, and road-ready systems that don’t fall over on load-in. He now runs BuddyMarch, a fractional, hands-on BD outfit for lighting/LED folks who need a grown-up in the room without the suits. This is a man who is less about hype, and more about delivery.   This episode is dedicated to Buddy, David's dog, who passed away a few days after the recording of this episode.
