Gary Kenton Email & Phone Number

Gary Kenton - Proprietor of GK Electronics since 1993.I have had many years’ experience in the music business and have all the required knowledge to provide a professional and friendly service tailored to your specific needs.I was brought up in a musical environment, my father was a bandleader and my mother was the singer. In the 1970’s they owned the ‘Moonrakers’ Licenced restaurant in Redruth. This gave me experience of running a business; I was involved with all aspects of the operation including handling the money, suppliers, staff and customers.On leaving school at 18 I started my first solo venture, opening up a shop in Station Hill, Redruth, selling sound and lighting equipment, and also home organs. This lasted for 18 months, eventually closing down before the big sewage upgrade scheme closed Redruth to traffic for some months.During this time I had still been running a very low-key business selling sound and lighting equipment from home.

I then took a job with RJ Fletcher as a technician, and worked there for 18 months, bringing many of my own customers to the business. However in 1993 I took the decision to leave and set up a new business of my own ‘GK Electronics’.GK Electronics was founded on 21st February 1993. It traded from rented premises at Unit 2, Agar Way. Stock was minimal and customers few at first, but I persevered and gradually built up both.In 2014 GK Electronics moved into the substainally bigger Unit 7A, and continues to thrieve within the industry. Over the last few years, GK Electronics has become a trusted and reliable company, being able to include many top businesses as clients.UPDATE 2021: During the COVID pandemic GK Electronics has been running at an extremely reduced level so I have resurrected my old career of HGV Class 1 driver whilst we await the full reopening of the events, entertainment and hospitality industry.2024:With the Covid pandemic behind us GK Electronics continues to expand and prosper in all areas of AV
