Stage One Creative Services, a North Yorkshire-based set manufacturer, has submitted plans to expand its facilities to accommodate growing demand. The company, known for producing large-scale sets for events like the London Olympics, Eurovision, and major music tours, aims to extend its Minster Hag Business Park site near Tockwith.
The firm employs 134 people and has seen significant growth, particularly in the Middle East. It currently operates from both Minster Hag and Marton Business Park, where it utilises three aircraft hangars for manufacturing. However, documents submitted to North Yorkshire Council highlight space limitations and the need for a dust-free environment for electronics and precision engineering.
The proposed expansion includes extending the Minster Hag site and constructing four detached single-storey buildings. The company plans to reorganise operations, consolidating manufacturing, design, and logistics at Marton Business Park while focusing on electronics, automation, R&D, and administration at Minster Hag.
Stage One says the expansion is crucial to maintaining its position as a global leader in set production and will support future business growth and job creation.
