Stage Technologies Founding Managing Director Relocates to Las Vegas

Stage Technologies Limited group CEO Mark Ager is relocating to the company's Las Vegas office, effective April 30, 2012. Having established a group of operating companies worldwide, Ager's move to the US will ensure the company's continued focus on sales and rentals opportunities for live events and in theatres, opera houses, and universities in the region. These are all sectors in which the company has completed many projects over the last 15 years, including multiple Cirque du Soleil resident shows in Las Vegas, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and the recently opened Signature Center in New York, on which the company worked with theatre consultants Auerbach Pollock and Friedlander and main contractor iWeiss Theatrical Solutions.

Ager will continue to drive business around the globe from his new base. As well as managing the whole of the Stage Technologies Group, he will take over Kevin Taylor's role as he has departed the company. Ager will join Stage Technologies' well-established Las Vegas leadership team which includes Gemma Guy managing business development in the fixed installation and rental markets, Stephan Wood in projects, and James "JT" Tomlinson who oversees US operations.

Ager founded Stage Technologies in 1994 with John Hastie and has been the driving force behind the company's automation products, including the Acrobat system, which allows multiple axes to be controlled from a single console.
