Thomas Riedel Carries Torch

The lead up to the Olympics requires plenty of hard work for technology providers but, in this case, the hard work involved some physical training as Thomas Riedel, founder and Managing Director of Riedel Communications, carried the Olympic Torch during the ceremonial Olympic Torch Relay at this year’s Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. “This was probably the most emotional moment I’ve ever had in event productions,” said Riedel shortly after the run.
