Coordinator for Events

I started my career in broadcasting in 1992 when I joined Radio One Live, later re-named Live FM. Throughout my career I gained experience working in the various fields of Production, Presentation, Advertising and Editing.
I also worked vastly in the field of Stage Managing and Co-ordination and gained my experience throughout the years during which I was involved in various productions varying from theatrical representations, beauty pageants both locally and overseas and also live concerts, conferences and all types of TV Productions.
My experience as a co-coordinator goes back to 1995, when for two years I was with Catwalk Promotions coordinating beauty pageants both locally and overseas. Later with Bonaci Brothers I was also involved in the coordination of various theatrical productions which included 'Funny Money' by Ray Cooney held at the Manoel Theatre. During this period I was also stage manager for live concerts which included Freddie Portelli, Enzo Gusman and Joe Cutajar
For several years I was deeply involved in 'Festival tal-Kanzunetta Maltija Internazzjonali' (International Maltese Song Festival) as well as the 'Song for Europe Festival' during which I played several roles mainly those of Stage Manager; Stage Assistant, Stage Director, Director, Production Manager, Liaison Officer, Assistant to the Executive Producer.
Together with the late Mario Ellul, I was also the Executive Producer for the Song for Europe Festival 2001. In 2005 I was Stage Manager for the Festival which was won by Chiara who later also placed second at the Eurovision song Contest in Kiev. For the past years, I was part of a crew that travelled to the Eurovision Song Festival to provide links and footage of the event, providing updates on the Maltese singer and the accompanying team for a local TV Station.
Throughout my experience I was also part of National and International Festivals and Events. In 1997, I was involved in the Malta Music Awards, with the participation of Gina G. During the following year I was also part of The Coca Cola Music Awards with the participation of the world famous Harlem Gospel Choir. I was involved as stage manager in various Awards, namely, Bay Music Awards, Malta Football Awards, Malta TV Awards and Malta Olympic Committee Awards.
Both stage and floor managing have been two important areas in my career. I was involved in a number of other live concerts, which included the participation of various local and international bands and talent. These included the Wintermoods, Antonello Venditti, ATB, Fragma and Dario G. For three years, 2006 – 2008, I was part of The Malta Jazz Festival Team organized by NnG Promotions. These included the participation of the Blues Brothers and Alan Parsons, The Australian Pink Floyd, The Wailers, Zucchero, Nina Ferro, Gwyn Ashton and Ray Wilson.
Other activities included Isle of MTV, the Joseph Calleja & Michael Bolton Concert, Laura Pausini, Gozo Music Festival and Rockestra. In the entertainment area I was also involved with various other companies including, Nng, Jugs@Malta, G7 and Latina Pictures Ltd
Since 2008 I form part of the team to coordinate the Farsons Beer Festival organised by Simonds Farsons Cisk p.l.c. In 2009 and 2011, I formed part of the Oktoberfest organised at the Malta Fairs Conventions Centre by G7. In 2009 I formed part of the Production Team of 'Gensna in Concert' a national musical epic Rock Opera performed at the Mediterreanean Conference Centre.
In July 2009 I was involved as Production Assistant with TAM (Teunis & Martínez) S.L., a Spanish Company in the production of a documentary about Malta. In Malta it was represented by NnG Promotions. In October 2009 I was then involved as a Assistant Location Manager in the production of ‘Il Commissario Rex’. The Film, aired on RAI, was produced by Beta Film Gmbh, Leader Productions S.R.L. and locally by Latina Pictures Ltd. I was again entrusted to be the Assistant Location Manager in the TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot 'Murder on the Orient Express' shot in Malta. Also by R.T.I. Leader Film Company I was also the local Assistant Location Manager for '6 Passi nel Giallo - Vita in Ostaggio' with an international case including Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Craig Bierko (Cinderalla Man).
During the past years I was also a Floor Manager in a number of TV productions. The list is quite substantial. Besides floor managing I am also involved as Assistant Producer, also responsible for the creation of the set of one of the programmes.
My involvement goes beyond the world of entertainment and managing the floor at conferences is also another field that I am involved in. Since 2009 I floored / stage managed the major conferences organised by HSBC Malta.
Editing is also a field I work in. I followed the first Avid course held in Malta by one of Avid's most experienced trainer, Roger Shufflebottom and obtained a certificate in Avid Xpress Pro. This course was held at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology in collaboration with DAB Electronics Co, Ltd during which the latest editing techniques used by professionals were presented.
I was responsible for the production of various TV adverts and feature TV programmes. The latter include special programmes from New York with the participation of the world known tenor Joseph Calleja, the Inauguration of the MSC Orchestra with the participation of Award Winner Ennio Morricone and the canonization of St. Gorg Preca from the Vatican City. I also produced company profiles.
Throughout my career, I had the chance to work with various personalities from various areas and walks of life.
On the 20th of March, 2017 under the auspices of the Malta EU Presidency of the Council, Malta hosted the Informal Meeting of Health Ministers at the Grand Masters Palace, Valletta.
It was an excellent meeting and all went like clockwork.
Pierre was our floor manager – so we just couldn’t get it wrong !! ☺

Pierre Cachia was assigned the coordination and organisation of the Cabinet Meeting at Fgura Primary. For our school it was something we have never experienced and we had no idea on how to go about it. However Pierre’s outstanding performance and experience made it so easy for us! His positive attitude was praised by those who worked closely to him. I would really like to thank him on behalf of all members of our staff for making this event a fruitful experience that we shared. It was a pleasure working with him. Keep up the good work! We really appreciated it!

I've had the pleasure of engaging Pierre Cachia on a number of large-scale national entertainment and cultural projects over the last couple of decades. There are three characteristics of his which keep me going back to him. He's reliable, experienced and a calm problem-solver.

As part of the preparations related to the hosting of the title of European Capital of Culture 2018 in Malta, the Valletta 2018 Foundation has found the service provided by Pierre Cachia to be of the highest level one can expect. It is a pleasure to work with someone as dynamic and professional as Pierre, and reassuring to know that he’s always ready to think ahead and go the extra mile.
Executive Director
Valletta 2018 Foundation
Pierre is a fantastic asset to have on your team. He is an incredible problem solver and a no nonsense guy.
What I appreciated most about working with Pierre is his ability to cut through the predictable politics of a project, keep everyone happy, and deliver beyond what was expected.
Transmedia Producer
The first thing that pops on my mind when Pierre Cachia is mentioned is “all rounder”.
As I work as an assistant producer for the popular program Kalamita, and Pierre is our floor manager, one thing that excels most in his qualities is responsibility.
I never saw the presenter being panicked throughout this whole schedule, and a huge motive for this is Pierre for managing to channel all the problems and tenseness into positivity and most of all hard work.
Apart from Kalamita, I had the experience to work at first hand with Pierre Cachia. The mobile company GO organized a weekend reality show, and I was one of the 4 personalities. A task had been set and we had to organize a big party / festival and accommodate a number of 300 persons. We needed a floor manager, somebody who will help us on the running of the program, and fend off some responsibilities off our side. Without a shadow of a doubt the first name that popped up was Pierre Cachia.
He didn’t let us down, with a lot of help from his side, we managed to overcome this challenge without a single problem. He managed the personnel (sound, singers, catering, ourselves, set) so perfectly!
Pierre Cachia is an all rounder. Responsibility, work rate and positivity are on top of his agenda.

I have known Pierre Cachia for many years now. I have seen him working on different programmes and events. Truly a professional and dedicated man in his work, perhaps sometimes too much of a perfectionist... but that is what makes him a professional.

Nothing else to say other than ... 'I feel safe having him around'. He is a one-stop-shop. Have been working with Pierre for quite some months now. Be it him managing a floor during a tv show, during some big event, a concert or a reception, he is always well prepared in anticipation with running orders, on the lookout for every detail around, giving advice to camera persons, also giving me some tips for some good shots. Personally, as a photographer myself, I hate having the 'normal' shots, and whenever I ask Pierre where I need to be at any particular time, you have to see him manipulating things around to make this location available asap and on time. Still thinking of someone you can rely on ... look no further. Mark my words.

I have known Pierre through TV work for the past years. He is a true hardworking gentleman with an eye for detail. His meticulous way of doing things puts him in a class of his own. It was a natural choice to have Pierre by our side on our wedding day to see that our itinerary goes as planned. Well done mate.
Journalist
Usually I shy away from writing any form of testimonial but I could not resist the temptation of writing this one. Pierre is certainly a unique person, full of energy, focused on his work and constantly adopts a professional attitude. His personal charisma inspires people around him, his firm but fair attitude is his key attribute to success. It has been a pleasure working with Pierre. I strongly recommend him.
IDEA Management Consulting Services Ltd
I have worked closely with Pierre during the TV programme "Fis-Sustanza". It was not easy for me to adapt myself within an environment which I was not affiliated with. In this case Pierre's meticulousness, precision and professionality during the course of the programme was unique. I used to feel very comfortable because Pierre was a continuous point of reference for me.

I take this opportunity to thank you for your sterling work and which I think was crucial to have a splendidly co-ordinated event at yesterday's Fan Park. A first for local football. It has been a privilege for me to have the opportunity to work you and look forward for other future possibilities.

I have been working in the entertainment business with Pierre Cachia since the theatrical season 1994 / 1995 at the MCC when as Bonaci Brothers produced one of the biggest events at that time, The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber Live concert and Enzo Gusman live in Concert and a play called "Għandek jew m'għandekx dejjem problema" (Funny Money) a Comedy by Ray Cooney at the Manoel theatre. Till now, I worked with Pierre on hundreds of live Tv magazine programmes. As a floor manager he is the best on the job. He will keep the presenter focused all the time. Pierre is a very professional person with new ideas and he always wants the best at all costs, if you can't do it he will do it no matter what. Pierre is a gentleman, an excellent innovative person. He was a great asset when we formed the company Hermann Bonaci Productions in the year 1998. Pierre thanks for your loyalty. And keep up the good job.
Producer - Hermann Bonaci Productions
I met Pierre for the first time when I was 16 years old during my first TV programme called 'Kulħadd fil-Millenju' Being my first programme I had many things to learn and Pierre was always there to give me his support and ideas on how to improve my production and presentation skills. From that time till today, Pierre was always my floor manger during each and every programme I have presented. Pierre loves floor managing and performs his duties with a lot of dedication. With just eye contact..., Pierre and I communicate effectively during a programme.

I have worked with Pierre during the "Malta International TV Song Festival 2006/7" aired on ONE TV. He was very helpful in co-ordinating the live-tv show. Celaine and I counted on his help to keep within the timings of the fast-paced show. His support from behind the scenes is most valuable!
Good television requires professionalism, dedication, organisation and strength to achieve perfection. For a truly outstanding and successful product engaging Pierre Cachia is a must! Reliable, flexible, dynamic and dedicated...how could you possibly go wrong?
Producer / Presenter
I have engaged Pierre for a number of major productions I was involved in. His involvement in my projects contributed in no small measure to their success. When Pierre is around whoever is responsible can put his or her mind at rest that there is someone who knows his business who does not need a lot of chasing to do what he is supposed to do.
Producer
Ex-Chairperson Malta Song Board
I knew Pierre for the first time at Super 1 TV studios, while I was actively involved as vocal coach and judge of Bravi 2003 - 2004. Following a week's hectic schedule of sessions and training with the competitors, I appeared as judge in the weekly Sunday programme Bravi. Pierre Cachia was the floor manager of this programme.
Pierre has always had this professional approach to his work. He is disciplined, punctual, puts his heart into his work, and we always worked very smoothly hand in hand.
I appear regularly on television, and sometimes I am interviewed or invited as a guest singer. And quite often, I meet Pierre on the set, as a floor manager. Again, Pierre takes his work very seriously, and i feel very much at ease taking his directions.
Whether he's floor manager or working from behind the camera, Pierre is always creative. He has been cameraman to some TV commercials that i've done. Pierre has a sense of direction, knows what he wants to achieve and works hand in hand with the protagonists.
Most of all, and I'm proud to say this, Pierre believes in and appreciates Maltese talent, and he definitely supports people like me and other Maltese artists.
Producer
I've worked closely with Pierre on various productions, mainly news productions and entertainment shows. Pierre is a shoulder to rest on and when he's around I'm sure that everything would run smoothly. He's a professional person who focuses mainly on the assignment at hand. Pierre Cachia is a person to have in your team, if you want to have the best result ever.

When I first met Pierre he was keen to start a career in the local media scene following the deregulation of the Maltese broadcasting sector. It was immediately evident that he was a fast and eager learner. Pierre is a hard-working collaborator with enviable energy levels. Pierre goes out of his way towards achieving goals set out by those he works with. Pierre is reliable and trustworthy because he follows through with tasks which most others would shy away from.

It was the first time that I worked closely with Pierre and was really glad and satisfied with the outcome. I have been organizing the Malta Football Awards for the past six years and truly I never felt organized like this year in backstage. His communication and coordination skills are second to none. He is well involved in the business and still prepares to the full. Surely one of the individuals I would ask to form part of my team in next year's edition of the Malta Football Awards.

Pierre Cachia was only a name I usually saw in the closing credits of TV programmes until June 2008 when I worked closely with Pierre for the 7th Edition of the Malta Football Awards. Being the production manager of the event and also the presenter of the show I felt 100% secure and my mind at rest of the work carried behind the scenes. Pierre, for sure you contributed for the awards to be once again a huge success! Thanks and may we have more opportunites to work together!
