Key Personnel

Simon Alder – Owner / Director

Simon founded Alder Technology in 2008, after seeing a gap in the market for a firm which not only provided innovative design, but also took the time to see the projects through to completion.

Simon’s Audio Visual design skills have been recognised at AVIA and Crestron awards nights, with many companies seeking him out to comment on their product line and suggest ways to improve existing product, as well as assist with the development of new products.

This in turn places Simon in an enviable position of being able to design solutions for clients with an eye on the future, reducing costs, maximising efficiency and ensuring his clients are never left with old technology.


Chris Watson – Senior Project Manager and Sydney Team Leader

Chris joined Alder Technology Consulting after over a decade at UTS. Chris was a senior project manager at UTS, delivering some of the most important AV projects in UTS history. Chris was the AV project manager on the UTS Building 11 project, which delivered 120 AV spaces in a single project.

In his time at Alder Technology, Chris has delivered the KPMG Canberra, Penrith and Parramatta offices, and is currently managing the national roll out of KPMG Complex Multi Function Spaces, one of the most technologically advanced projects in KPMG.

Chris has also successfully delivered multiple office fitouts for the likes of the Australian Taxation Office, Asahi and Carlton and United Breweries.  All these were national projects.  It speaks to the experience and gravitas Chris has in the industry that he is requested by name to lead these large and important projects. Chris is a Prince2 certified practitioner.
