title: THE BPD Blog | Jonathan Nichols
description: Johnny joined BPD Zenith as UK Marketing Coordinator, with a passion for Efficiency and Optimisation. Responsibilities now include EMEA and global activities, events and projects. In the relatively short time he’s been with BPD Zenith, he has seen big changes across the industry, not just at BPD! Johnny is excited about the development of EAM technologies and the integration of tools and enhancements that can drive more value and return on investment to our end users. His other passion is music - writing, recording and producing original material and playing live with bands and solo – whenever possible!
