Sterling Event Group continues to grow nationally and internationally with its latest expansion in Leeds
Leeds has welcomed a new office and warehouse from Sterling Event Group, a leading technical event production specialist. This new Leeds hub strengthens the company’s ability to serve clients throughout Yorkshire.
The facility will operate as a fully equipped base, staffed by a local team and stocked with a curated inventory of AV and production equipment. Sterling’s Manchester headquarters will also support the new hub as part of the company’s continued national growth.
“Leeds is a major UK economic hub, and we look forward to supporting clients in the region with first-class service and event production technology,” said Richard Bowden, managing director of Sterling Event Group. “Over the years, we’ve built a strong team of project managers in the area, and now is the right time to expand our support with a permanent base in Leeds.”
This location has also opened up new opportunities, including key hires and additional roles. “We are very much in a service-driven business, so building a team that shares our values has been a key focus of this growth,” Bowden added.
The launch of the Leeds facility is another step in Sterling’s recent brand refresh.
