On delivery our team will ensure you are completely happy with your stage, explain how it goes together and set it up for you if require. Deliveries are generally on a multi drop route. Wherever possible we will try to accommodate any timed requirements you have.
We will demonstrate how to use the staging, so if you have staff members available at the time of delivery, we’d be happy to show them all how to build your Unistage.
If you have any old staging you no longer require, please speak to our office on placing your order and we’d be happy to arrange to collect your old stage and take it away for free!

How it started
The whole concept and design of Unistage was developed by Managing Director Stephen Huckle.
Steve was born and raised in Manchester and as a studious youth and keen saxophonist he became head boy at his high school in Denton.
After leaving school, Steve went on to study for an apprenticeship and achieve his OND and HND in Mechanical and Production Engineering.
Following 6 years with the same company Steve went on to become a Design Engineer with a Hyde based company working with several large blue chip companies including Rolls Royce, JCB, BAE and also the Ministry of Defence.
Fast forward a few years to the early nineties where Steve went on to work for a staging company as a product design engineer, where his role was to design new products while improving existing ones. His time there was relatively short after becoming increasingly frustrated, as his suggested improvements to existing products were ignored, as the company believed the product was unable to be bettered. Steve’s frustration lead him to leave the company and went on to further his manufacturing knowledge working for a manufacturer of laser machines.
Whilst extending his knowledge of manufacturing and design processes over the years, Steve believed his staging designs were better than anything else available and had a firm belief that there was a market for his product.
Over the years Steve improved and adapted his staging designs to ensure his product was simple, effective and easy to use whilst continuing to work in a managerial role for a large manufacturing company employed on behalf of major names such as House of Fraser, Debenhams, Argos and Comet.
In 1999 Steve’s product was patented and Unistage arrived.
Since the very beginning, Steve has remained the driving force behind improvements and new product designs. Not wanting Unistage to standstill, Steve has learnt there is always room for improvement and continues to develop new ideas and attract new business.
