The Staging Connections Group, headquartered in Australia, operates from over 90 locations around the world. The group delivers production, design, staging and venue solutions across a wide spectrum of live events and exhibitions as well as providing venue services.
The purchase decision was made for a variety of reasons, as Gearhouse's managing director, Peter McCann explains: "Gearhouse and the Staging Connections Group have been instrumental in bringing the latest and best technology to the Middle East, introducing high-definition solutions to the region, meeting the market's need for a top-quality AV production solutions, and setting the industry standard."
Gearhouse is involved in a wide variety of outdoor events in the Middle East such as motor racing, concerts, large-scale events and festivals, as well as indoor events including conferences and exhibitions, and is committed to providing a quality result at each and every one.
"Lighthouse is a close partner of the Staging Connections Group," adds Lighthouse managing director, Mark Chan. "We are very happy that they chose to invest in our R16i/o-II, which is a competitive product that is selling incredibly well. The group has not only made this investment because of the quality of the screen, but because they also recognise the potential for cross-rental between the regions it covers, guaranteeing a quick return-on-investment."
