Meet the team
Stephen Huckle
Managing Director
At Work: Stephen's background is as a design engineer and he invented the whole UniSTAGE concept. He continues to design additional products for the UniSTAGE range, as well as develop new ideas. Stephen is the founder and owner of UniSTAGE and our sister companies; UniPACE and Uni-PLAY.
At Play: Stephen enjoys the good things in life; fine dining, a good bottle of red and the idyllic lake district countryside. We wonder therefore, with his exquisite good taste how we all managed to work for him?
Gary Slater
General Manager
At Work: Gary has been with UniSTAGE since 2006 and he has a vast knowledge and experience of every aspect of our company, from demonstrating staging to prospective customers to production and even delivery.
At Play: Away from UniSTAGE Gary is very much a family man and he especially likes it when his youngest daughter suggests they go and watch the local cricket team play. It's not because there's a bar there is it Gary? His recent purchase of a Vespa scooter has prompted jokes of a mid-life crisis!
Victoria Harwood
Sales & Marketing Manager
At Work: Victoria is responsible for the Sales and Marketing for UniSTAGE, dealing with your enquiries, getting a quote to you and trying to make your purchase as simple and pain free as possible. Victoria also looks after the marketing for UniSTAGE.
At Play: Victoria is currently planning her wedding so we expect that we will be hearing about wedding plans, dresses, flowers and food for many months to come. She has also been known to sample the occasional glass of wine when she isn't running around after her young daughter.
Andrew Stewart
Office Manager
At Work: Andrew will deal with any account queries, that you may have, such as invoicing and payment issues. He also looks after purchasing and is a general all rounder!
At Play: The Biscuit King - has been known to eat a full packet of cookies with one brew. Andrew is also a massive sports fan, although this is questionable when you consider that he supports Leeds United.
Kyla Hodgkinson
Sales Administrator
At Work: Our latest addition to the team is Kyla. Kyla has previously worked with the education sector and is helpful, friendly and courteous. Kyla deals with enquires, quotations and all of your customer service needs.
At Play: Kyla is not one to shy away from a night out and we look forward to the tales of her weekends. To recover from her partying, Kyla likes to pamper herself and invites her friends round for pamper parties.
