Croft started work in the stage lighting business in 1991 after graduating from Manchester University. After a couple of years' technical experience in the warehouse, he headed off on 'tour' for the next six years with Rolling Stones, Van Halen, M People and Take That, among others. The last six years, he has worked as an account handler at Vari-Lite, looking after some of the company's biggest and newest clients.
"I am really happy to be back at the sharp end of our business with a close connection to the clients, the crew and the equipment offered. Utopium Lighting is a great place to be working. There is a young and enthusiastic atmosphere with a professional bunch of guys who have been running the company for 10 years. We are in the process of expanding and shifting up a gear with new staff, premises and vehicles. It is exciting to be part of that and I'm looking forwarded to reaching our goals over the coming years."
