Damon’s appointment follows a string of internal promotions across the Company. This includes 6 Runners/Front of House staff moving into Production and Machine Room roles in the past month. It is a huge part of ENVY’s ethos to promote talent from within wherever possible and we celebrate the fact that over 50% of staff have come from the ENVY Academy system since it was created in 2008.
