Profiles
The founders of Agtel are still involved in the business on a daily basis. They still have the passion and commitment to keep the company at the forefront of what has always been a fast-paced and dynamic industry.
They direct, coach and guide the Agtel team to ensure all clients benefit from outstanding levels of service, creativity and commitment.
John Cummins
John is the daddy of the species. He dreamed up Agtel in 1979 (that was in the last millenium) and is still our passionate MD. He keeps telling us, the technology may change, but the communications basics never change, tell a good story, engage people personally, and make great images talk.
He just wont go away, his latest thing is Twitter.
Liam Lavelle
Like a walking Wikipedia, what Liam doesn't know about, he can convincingly spoof. One of the most prolific producers of his generation, he is equally familiar with filming in a classroom or a crane, a FAB plant or a farm.
Specialising in fast paced factual programming, Liam knows how to attract and keep an audience, and how to make best use of a budget.
Our carefully assembled core team provides unparalleled expertise across all platforms. If we were a coffee. We’d be a rich-roast Arabica.
Michael Parker
Like every great leader, Michael is a conquerer. Having crossed the globe for over 16 years, tackling every business challenge known to man, he returned to his roots in Ireland and took up the reins at Agtel. Using his knowledge of the importance of effective communication, Michael has taken Agtel into places that didn't seem possible. And he always feels, it’s just the beginning.
Alan Dargan
Alan wasn’t born, he was downloaded. Although he is fully made of flesh you can’t deny there is digital code running through his veins. Alan is a skilled magician in all of the technical elements of production. His knowledge of digital and online media is second to none and he is the lynchpin in Agtel between the real world and cyberspace.
Lee Cronin
Lee is an ideas-man. Through his writing he can come up with the creative solution to anything. Lee’s passion for film breeds his hunger to direct. If its something original, cinematic and groundbreaking you’re looking for, then look no further. Lee doesn’t just think outside the box, he re-invents what the box is. For Lee film-making isn’t just his job but his calling. His life is one never ending shoot.
Diarmaid MacMathuna
If Diarmaid didn’t do what he does for Agtel he’d be in demand from the chief scientists at NASA. Attention to detail does not fully compliment his meticulous approach to projects. This care and dedication sees Diarmaid flourish in the areas of adult education, technology and science communications. His portfolio of experience crosses all genres and platforms and he has the safest pair of hands in the business.
