XL Video Celebrates Parnelli Award

The Parnelli Awards - which is named after the late production and touring manager Rick 'Parnelli' O'Brien - has honoured the highest achievers and most admired innovators in the live event industry.
Taking place in front of a capacity crowd at the sold-out 2009 event in Orlando, Florida, XL Video was announced as the winner of the Video Rental Company of the Year Award.
Presented by Projection, Lights & Staging News and Front of House magazines these are to recognise pioneering, influential professionals and their contributions to the industry, honouring both individuals and companies.
René de Keyzer, Chief Executive Officer of the XL Video Group and Phil Mercer, Managing Director of XL Video LA, accepted the prestigious award.
Also on hand to celebrate was XL Video's President Marcel de Keyzer and Jo Beirne of XL Video UK.
This is the latest such award for XL Video, which kicked off the year in February by being voted the Favourite Video Services Company at the 2009 TPi Awards.
A busy touring year has followed, working with - among others - Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Jay-Z; Johnny Hallyday, Pink, Staind, Take That and U2.
Also honoured at the Parnelli Awards was Stefaan 'Smasher' Desmedt who picked up the Video Director of the Year Award.
Desmedt, whose most recent project was the U2 360° tour, works regularly with XL Video.
