UK - Stagecraft Technical Services was launched in November by directors Kevin Hughes, Michael Naish, Lisa Tapper, Simon Sketchley and Sheryle Daniels. Bringing together many years of experience, the new Company which is based in Salisbury, will work with the event, corporate, professional, educational, amateur and entertainment sectors to provide a comprehensive staging, lighting and sound service; from supply and installation to technical support and hire.

Lisa Tapper explains: "It is a very exciting time for us all; we have a clear focus and a driven, knowledgeable team. Certain assets were acquired by Stagecraft Technical Services from Stagecraft Limited, which recently went into voluntary liquidation.

We look forward to bringing years of expertise and experience to every project we work on and welcome enquiries of all shapes and sizes!"
