"Studio and Stage Is Under New Management.
[Oct 2008] G Clark and Co
Recognising the innovation and talents of the freelance commercial studio design artists, stage engineers, technicians and specialist prop makers who founded Studio and Stage in 1996 we happily invest finance and infrastructure to develop the retail and hire side of this business. Our intension is to provide the organisational support which was at times missing in the business. Coupled with a new order/workflow system, removing administrative pressure from the teams who actively manufacture will result in faster turn around times and an improved customer serviceIn 2009 we intend to consolidate and expand our market position. Improve and expand our product range and continue to provide accurate and functional equipment to happy customers at extremely competitive prices. Our client base has been in the visual arts, both on stage and screen, photography and video production and increasingly to corporate event organisers. In 2007 we are expanding to promote our production and sales of quality equipment to buyers on the internet. We will soon cease to offer our products on Ebay in the belief that their listing and payment policies are extortionate and unfair to buyers and sellers alike.
We continue to expand our AV hire business with products ranging from portable staging for halls and small venues, special effects and backgrounds to full lighting and sound rigs. "

This was lifted from their website. Interesting to note their plans for growth in 2007! Gits. It will be such a shame to see them go from eBay, where they made their first sale in months just recently.

Just saying hi
Been a very busy month so I haven't had time to do any digging on our favourite cowboys.
Doesn't look like S&S have been very busy though. From what I can see the last sale they made through eBay was back in September. Strangely, if you click on the View Item button, it suggests that the listing was cancelled by eBay. I may have got that wrong though.
Anyway, it's lovely to see that they aren't fooling eBayers.
I also noticed that on their website they claim to be opening new showrooms soon. No other details though (they don't seem capable of finishing a job off - look at the state of their website. Half the links don't work. Try leaving a message on the comment form, for example.)
I reckon they're about to be kicked out of their current premises. Or perhaps they're doing a runner from people like us (i.e. customers). All speculation, of course. But what fun.
I'm left wondering why they have posted pictures of Bradford and Leeds Theatres on their site. I believe Mr Joss works under the stage at The Alhambra (or perhaps he lives there?).
Well, while Mr Joss enjoys his grubby existence, I am off to America to make a short film. I might use that piece of crap dolly as a luggage cart.
