Stagecraft was formed in 1990 by original partners Neil Craddock and Warren Shaw primarily to sell stage lighting to bands but rapidly expanded into installation of lighting and sound systems into pubs, night clubs, schools and colleges, leisure centres, churches and retail outlets/shops.

In more recent times, audio-visual equipment has been added to the portfolio and we can now supply and install a range of projectors, manual and electric screens, plasma and LCD TV screens etc.

In addition other AV based products such as classroom AV, whiteboards, interactive whiteboards, digital signage and visualisers are also available. Other equipment and services available include induction loop systems, a speaker re-coning service, repairs, equipment hire and PAT testing.

Twenty one years on and the business is now run by Neil Craddock and  son Lee an electrical engineer. Neil and Lee are ably assisted as required by a small band of carefully chosen installation sub-contractors.

Prior to 1990, Neil was a professional musician and was able to bring 20 years of valuable experience in the use of sound and lighting into Stagecraft. Lee is also an experienced musician and so everybody shares a natural interest in the equipment and also a desire to provide the right equipment for a particular situation.

From portable systems to fully comprehensive professional installations Stagecraft have supplied clients countrywide and being a small company means that customers can be assured of personal service and that attention to detail that is often lost with big organizations.

The Stagecraft team will provide design and consultancy, no obligation quotations on any sound-lighting or AV project and simple good advice and guidance on equipment purchases.
