Overview
STAGEKINGS
A multi-award winning, industry-leading company with a bullet-proof reputation for pioneering design and creativity
STAGEKINGS is the company responsible for some of the most well-known temporary event structures of the past 6 years. Including the Opening Ceremony at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, the set for the TV show Ninja Warrior, the replica Edinburgh Castle at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Sydney, Shakespeare’s Pop up Globe Theatre in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, Ultra Music Festival and many more.
Since Friday 13th March 2020 Jeremy has been navigating Stagekings through the most difficult time the event industry has ever experienced, since the complete shut-down of the industry at the outbreak of Covid-19. Facing the prospect of losing everything, he and head designer Mick Jessop quickly pivoted Stagekings to manufacture work from home office furniture, to fill the gap in the market, and to keep Stagekings in business. By doing this he has reemployed staff, as well as employing more than 70 more out of work event crew to help in the manufacturing of over 35,000 pieces of IsoKing furniture. On top of this in just 12 months Stagekings donated over $100,000 to charities, including Support Act - the Heart and Hand of Australian Music, through the sales of the desks.
