During World War II, RG Jones Recording Studios produced transcription discs used by the armed forces to replay radio programs,[5] and the company's mobile PA equipment was used by The Home Guard and the Red Cross.
Notable artists who recorded at the studio before its eventual closure in 2001[6] included the Moody Blues, The Who, David Bowie, Love Affair, Sonny Boy Williamson, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, the Bee Gees, Leo Sayer, The Police, a-ha, Cliff Richard, and Mark Morrison.
[3] RG Jones business maintained separate divisions for equipment rental, sales, installation projects, and the recording studio.
In the 1980s, the rental division gained prominence through such high-profile events as Royal Fireworks for the Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, the 1982 visit by Pope John Paul II to the United Kingdom, and the opening of the Thames Barrier the same year.
The rental division also experienced an increase in jobs supporting outdoor broadcast events for the BBC, Thames TV, and London Weekend Television.
