Gary Boyd

Vice President, Operations

As General Manager of PRG’s Canadian division, Gary Boyd is responsible for PRG’s operations throughout Canada.

Gary began his entertainment technology career in 1985 when he joined Score Systems Ltd., a theatrical lighting company based in Kitchener, Ontario, as the company’s equipment rental manager. Two years later, Gary became a partner in the firm through an equity investment. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gary was instrumental in expanding Score Systems’ business, helping the company grow its rental revenues and establishing a second office in Toronto. Following Score Systems’ acquisition by Christie Lites in 1995, Gary served as general manager of the Kitchener facility.

In 1996, Gary left Christie Lites to help Westsun establish an office in Toronto. Gary then served as the office’s manager of rental operations for the next 3 years. In 1999, Gary was promoted to vice president of operations for all of Westsun’s offices in the United States and Canada. Gary served in that role until shortly before PRG acquired Westsun in August, 2002. Following several months of working as an independent management consultant, Gary joined PRG as general manager of the company’s Toronto office.

Gary now focuses his time on expanding PRG’s business throughout Canada as well as integrating his operations with PRG’s other offices in North America and the United Kingdom. He is rapidly developing the Toronto office into one of PRG’s premier regional equipment depots for concert tours, theatrical productions, tradeshows, and corporate events.

In his spare time, Gary enjoys spending time with his family and is an avid recreational pilot.
