STAGE ELECTRICS HISTORY

Stage Electrics was founded in 1979 by David Whitehead and Maurice Marshal, MBE, driven by a passion for lighting and a commitment to prioritising customer service.  Today, our dedication remains as strong as ever, expanding beyond lighting to include audio, video, staging, and rigging. We believe that David and Maurice would still recognise our unwavering commitment to delivering industry leading customer outcomes.  

In 2014, we enhanced our business by acquiring Northern Light, a leading lighting, audio, and video company in Scotland, now proudly part of the Stage Electrics Group. In 2019, we refined our focus by selling SLX, the Group's hire and events division. Most recently, in 2024, we expanded our Inspection and Testing department through the acquisition of Just Rigging and Inspections Scotland Limited. 

Today, our UK-based team of industry specialists work with a broad range of clients, both nationally and internationally. Our customers range from small amateur groups to large multinational corporations and industry professionals across theatre, live events, education, and broadcast—as well as themed attractions, conference centres, schools, and more.  Over the past 40 years, the technology may have changed, but our commitment to delivering industryleading standards hasn’t.
