About Us – Stage By Design

Our Story...

Having a combined 50 years in corporate event production, Greg & Jared were tired of hiring staging pieces and props that were delivered and installed on site looking like they had just come from a war zone. Chipped edges, loose panels, unpainted and damaged beyond repair. Proud perfectionists the two decided to invest in their own stage decks, specific theming and specialist LED lighting effects ideal for set design.

We believe you should be free to get on with the most important task of all…creating & enjoying your vision of what is needed, unencumbered with the detail of how it will be delivered. That stressful place is our favourite domain!

We relish, thrive & excel at the detail of the delivery. Precision planning, personalised attention to every detail leading to and after your event, coupled with a voracious appetite for solving last minute challenges onsite…this is who we are and what we love to do!

We are a team renowned for a “yes we can” attitude that is balanced by healthy, honest & professional shared suggestions & feedback, with the goal to make things even better than original expectations.

Whatever it takes to go above & beyond is our ultimate destination for your event.

Our Values

Excellence

We take absolute pride in our attention to detail and our drive to strive for perfection in every event we take on.
From our expertise in bespoke stage & set design, to the very latest in equipment, to best in market technology, to having built a team of the most experienced and capable operators; we strive for the best on every level. Our attitude is to always push for excellence in a calm, focused and consistent way. Your "technology S.W.A.T team" on call and ready to deliver seamless perfection.

Passion

We believe passion is connected with purpose. It means something when you love what you do, you love why you do it, you love the people you work with, you love the people you serve. The passion & enthusiasm we value so greatly as a team means we are resilient when encountering any obstacles. People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just "in it for the money" tend to be people, like our team, who have a more positive outlook and can overcome difficulty through problem solving.

Commitment

It is a value we believe underpins strong and mutually beneficial relationships. Commitment is a pledge to give your time and energy to something or somebody you believe in. Each and every quality technician within our team takes personal ownership & accountability for their part in your event.
Where there is commitment there is accountability which means mistakes aren't hidden, blame is not shifted and therefore trust is not lost. And we believe it is a two way street which means, that if all honour transparency, both trust and value are added to the relationship we have with our clients.
