Originating privately in the Isle of Man in 2010 from a humble event partnership between Manx owners and operators Josh Clague and Joe Callister, Gear Industries became an Isle of Man limited company in 2016, the company has grown to become a key player in the events market for the island and its still the only Manx events company to be headed by home grown talent who have gone on to work globally, as well as locally, in the entertainment industry. From day 1 the aim was to enjoy working with clients who have real drive behind their events and require a high level of service that is transparent and fair, but still with local sensibilities.
