Essential Lighting Joins Staging Connections Group
Live event lighting company Essential Lighting has announced that it has become part of Australian based Staging Connections Group.
Essential joins the Staging Connections family of world class businesses based in eight countries around Australia, Asia and the United Arab Emirates and the move marks their first step in a European expansion.
Joining the Staging Connections Group is great news for Essential’s customers, adding a wealth of expertise and skills to the Essential offering and ensuring that the newest and most advanced fixtures and technology are available to lighting designers and production companies in the UK and Europe, say the company.
Essential’s 24 hour support and technical assistance will also benefit from close links with people who provide technical services for over 50,000 events a year, from a small conference to challenges as epic as the Sydney Olympic Games. Through a network of group businesses it will now be easier both to provide the Essential service for events travelling to Europe and for European customers organising events in the Middle & Far East.
It’s business as usual at Essential Lighting, with the company, brand, directors and team all continuing exactly as before, committed to continuing to deliver the highest quality lighting services and equipment to the live event industry.
Essential’s managing director, Martin Locket commented: “We are very excited about the opportunities that becoming part of a global, professional group of technical specialists presents to the development of Essential Lighting. The experience, technology and combined global resources ensure that we will continue to evolve the service that we provide to our customers. We remain focussed on supplying our clients in the UK and European live events industry with the best equipment and services for every size of event.”
Michael Gardner, chief executive officer of Staging Connections Group, added: “Essential is a great fit with our family global event services businesses; the quality of equipment and professionalism of staff matches perfectly with our values and we’re delighted to welcome them to the group. We’re committed to support Essential’s continued growth, delivering the best combination of resources to the UK and European live event market.”
