Ewart Richardson, a more recent addition to the Stage Technologies’ team joined the company full-time in September 2001 to lead the Mechanical Engineering Department although he had been designing projects and products for the company since the mid-90s. Since Richardson’s arrival, the department has gone from strength to strength and now, with a large team of full-time mechanical design engineers using sophisticated 3D modelling software, Stage Technologies is offering complete design consultancy services from mechanical elevators and gantries through to moving theatre scenery and special effects for a host of projects and large-scale events.
Nikki Scott, commercial director for Stage Technologies commented: "We are thrilled to welcome Kevin and Ewart to the Board of Directors. As the scope and scale of the global projects Stage Technologies are involved in continues to increase it is appropriate that our technical leadership is enhanced at this time. As a company we believe that it is vital for us to offer our customers a high level of engineering skill coupled with an empathy and understanding for the creative process and the final artistic product. Ewart and Kevin each have years of experience in the entertainment industry and enable the company to offer complete solutions for projects requiring a single motor through to complete turnkey solutions requiring the design and construction of complex machinery and control."
