Hire & installations

One event or everyday use.

Temporary and permanent systems need different delivery plans. Our hire service brings equipment and suppliers together for the event; installations start with the space and its operators. Both are specified around the budget and how the system will actually be used.

01 / Service

Large-scale AV hire

Audio, lighting, video, staging, power and infrastructure, supplied and managed together. We combine our own equipment with trusted specialist suppliers, and handle the quotes, logistics, delivery, setup and technical operation to suit your budget and the production.

  • Own stock and specialist supplier sourcing
  • Coordinated delivery and installation
  • Crew from build through load-out
In practice

Festivals, conferences, tours, activations and temporary venues can all use this service. We coordinate the package across suppliers and can provide on-site crew through the event and final load-out. Equipment choices follow the brief, with one team managing the supply and delivery.

02 / Service

Permanent AV installations

Design and install dependable systems for venues, hospitality, workplaces and cultural spaces. We assess the room and how it is used, develop practical options within budget, and bring audio, video, lighting and control together with acoustics and design where needed.

  • Survey, specification and installation
  • Commissioning and staff handover
  • Servicing, repairs and technical support
In practice

We test, tune and programme the system, provide handover information and show your team how to use it. Servicing, repairs and support can follow installation, with ongoing technical staffing and operational support available where the venue needs it.

AV system disciplines

Which systems does your project need?

Take one system or combine several: audio, lighting, video, staging, infrastructure and control. We specify each one around the audience, the space and the people who will run it, and bring in specialist crew where the project calls for them.

01 / Service

Audio systems

Sound system design, supply and installation for speech and music, from compact venues to festival systems. Coverage, room use and straightforward controls guide the specification.

  • System design, tuning and optimisation
  • Wireless microphones and in-ear monitors
  • Audio engineers for live events and broadcasts
In practice

We select equipment around the space, audience and budget, then install and tune it for its intended use. Wireless microphones, in-ear monitoring and operator requirements are considered alongside the wider system, for one-off productions and permanent installations.

02 / Service

Video systems

Screens, displays and LED walls for presentations, live cameras, digital signage and streaming. We plan the visible display and the signal routing behind it as one system.

  • Displays, cameras and content feeds
  • Networking, routing and processing
  • Streaming and experienced video operators
In practice

Sightlines, room layout and the audience's location inform the display choices. Live camera feeds, presentations and remote participation can be brought together, with operators available for events and practical controls for everyday use.

03 / Service

Lighting systems

Lighting for live performance and permanent spaces, shaped around atmosphere, visibility and day-to-day operation. Fixtures and controls are specified to suit the room and its use.

  • Lighting plans and 3D visuals
  • Programming and scene setting
  • Lighting technicians for live operation
In practice

We can show proposed lighting through plans and 3D visuals before installation. Programming connects the intended look with practical operation, whether that means an event lighting crew or staff selecting scenes in a bar, restaurant or venue.

04 / Service

Control systems

Bring audio, video and lighting into interfaces staff can use with confidence. Control is planned alongside the equipment so the system works around its operators.

  • Integrated audio, video and lighting
  • Programming and testing
  • Clear controls and staff handover

05 / Service

Staging & infrastructure

Stages, roof systems, temporary structures, power and site infrastructure coordinated with the production. For permanent systems, we also plan racks, cable paths and technical spaces.

  • Stage, structure and supplier coordination
  • Power distribution and access planning
  • Build oversight through de-rig
In practice

Stage layouts, supplier access and build schedules are coordinated with audio, lighting and video. We bring the appropriate specialist suppliers into the plan, oversee the build and manage breakdown. Installed infrastructure includes cable and network routes with documentation for handover.

How we work

One controlled workflow.

Everything starts with agreeing the scope. Design, sourcing and delivery then follow a single plan, with the right crew for an event and a proper handover for a permanent installation.

  1. Brief and site review

    Agree the brief, budget and timescales, then review the site, power, access and how people will use the space.

  2. Design and specification

    Develop practical options, drawings and system specifications with a clear proposal showing what is included.

  3. Sourcing and coordination

    Combine appropriate in-house stock with specialist suppliers, coordinating quotes, equipment, logistics and crews.

  4. Delivery and handover

    Install, programme and test the system. Support event operation through load-out, or commission a permanent installation and brief its operators.
