Mandylights expands into the UK
- Details
Operating since 2006 from Sydney, Australia, Mandylights has delivered lighting, visual and production design projects in over 50 countries across touring concert, broadcast, special event, theatre and corporate markets.
The company’s recent touring and Vegas residency designs for the Backstreet Boys are recent additions to an impressive list of credits including multiple tours for artists including Ricky Martin, Taio Cruz, Cats - The Musical, China’s G.E.M. and numerous others. Mandylights has also designed shows for Dubai’s Burj Khalifa New Year’s Eve celebrations and the 15th anniversary main stage of Ultra Music Festival in addition to countless festivals and special events around the world.
The diverse company will have a distinctly local focus in the UK, with Tom Edwards, Liam Tully and Australian senior designer (and British expat) Richard Neville partnering to create the new British company.
“We’ve always enjoyed working in the UK and have had great working relationships with Tom and Liam for a while now, so the new office seemed like a natural progression for the Mandylights brand,” said Richard.
Tom and Liam are known for their design work with artists including James Bay, Savages, IAMX and Tory Lanez amongst others.
“The creation of Mandylights UK will give our clients access to a pool of incredibly experienced designers with a unique reach around the globe. We’re looking forward to sharing operators, ideas, designers and resources to provide a truly global design service” said Tom.
Mandylights’ Newcastle based office will begin operating later in July, with a number of projects already on the horizon that involve collaboration between the two offices.
