The Beatles would go on to great things on stage and behind the scenes, we did too! The Torpedo Factory Group launched in London in 1960 when we opened the doors of a glamorous shop at 45 High Street Kensington in London. Over the last 6 decades we’ve grown through word of mouth and acquisitions, including: National Stage Technology (formed from the merger of Northern Stage and Lancelyn Theatre Supplies) Orion AV Pinnerton Video Systems Hot AV Working Wall Foresight Audio Visual Medius Hire Gray Audio Visual We’re proud to say many customers and employees are still with us from these acquisitions. 'Our experience with the Torpedo team has been excellent. Every single person is polite and helpful and their workmanship is very good.
