SW Productions

I can't recommend Steve highly enough. We've worked together in theatres, churches, festivals, venues large and small and it's always been a brilliant experience. Steve knows a lot and he always brings a creative view to his technical expertise. A great collaborator. Hire him! You won't regret it.

My sister had her school work experience with Steve and has worked in productions at HAC whilst Steve has been the technician there. He is incredibly professional, helpful and supportive. He knows above and beyond the roles of his work and is definitely the man you want on board. My sister is also hoping to begin a course with Steve as a mentor in September which she is really looking forward to.

Our award winning show Bomb Happy tours to non arts venues as well as theatres and as our Technical Touring Manager & Lighting Designer ,Steve from SW Productions, always delivers regardless of what type of venue we throw at him. He has turned any space we have programmed from Army cadet bases to museums to school canteens into functioning black box theatres, providing all the technical equipment needed for lighting, sound & projection, ensuring that every audience receives the same high quality theatre experience of our touring productions regardless of whether they are sitting in a 200 hundred seater equipped theatre or in a heritage Victorian railway dining car. Highly recommended.

I recently directed a theatre production of Absent Friends at Helmsley Arts Centre and had the pleasure of working alongside Steve as the Technical Manager. This was my directing debut at HAC and my job was made so easy by having him in charge of the lighting and sound. Steve is knowledgeable, industrious and creative with a keen eye for detail. I do hope that we can work together again soon!

Richmondshire Youth Theatre use SW Productions for all our performance requirements. We are a touring youth theatre and SW Productions has everything we need to ensure our shows have high quality lighting, sound and staging, suitable for every type of venue, large or small . Steven has a calm and focused approach to his work and he supports our young people at every step of the process, ensuring they feel confident during their performance as actors and backstage crew. SW Productions have been an essential part of Richmondshire Youth Theatres touring experience and alway provide a professional service that we highly recommend.

I worked with Steve many times over the years with the Helmsley Arts Centre Youth theatre. I often asked for the most unusual and bizarre production creations, he never said no, he always came up with solutions way beyond my expectations.A total professional and with a very necessary sense of humour!

I used Steve to help me move house and what a nice guy he was! Very polite and very professional. He turned what is normally a very stressful situation into something simple and easy to manage. Would 100% recommend to anybody!

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Steve on many occasions at HAC or Billingham forum theatre. Steve will do absolutely anything to make sure work is on time and he knows his job role better than anyone. Steve also has helped me out on occasions when I’ve needed to move house. With out a doubt please use Steve he will make sure everything runs smoothly

I've worked with SW Productions at the Ryedale Festival (in my capacity as Producer) and at the Chiltern Arts Festival (as Creative Director) – both are mainly classical music events, and I can highly recommend this company. Steve and his team are a dream to work with – punctual, thorough, polite and excellent quality equipment. Couldn't ask for much more!

SW Productions provided tech and video editing services for our streamed theatre production of 'The Age of Consent' - Steve went above and beyond and delivered with a collaborative approach. Would highly recommend to any individual or organisation in need of tech for live theatre or filming needs.
