What we hire
Thirteen services that cover most business events. Most of the time we combine three or four of them. Pick a service to see the kit, the levels and the kind of room it fits.
AV hire
The flagship. Flexible kit, calm operators and proven setup for every kind of business event in Manchester.
Audio visual hire
End-to-end audio visual hire across the UK. Sound, screens, lighting and a person who stays calm when it matters.
Projector and screen hire
Bright projector and screen packages tuned to the room. Boardroom 80-inch up to conference-hall wide-screen.
LED screen hire
Indoor LED walls for brand activations, gala dinners and high-visibility business events.
Stage hire
Well-built stage decks. Presenters perform where they want, the focus stays where it should be.
Sound and PA hire
Clear, balanced audio for every voice in the room. Two-speaker boardroom to d&b conference rig.
Microphone hire
Wireless handheld, lapel and headset mics. Most events need more than the venue installed system can run.
Lectern hire
Comfort-monitor lectern, 4 wireless mics, room PA. The kit the team runs at most AGMs and gala dinners.
Stage lighting hire
Stage lighting designed around your set, your speakers and your audience. No noise, no flap.
Event lighting hire
Set the right mood and put attention where it needs to go. Discreet, focused, room-appropriate.
Conference AV hire
Multi-room conferences with sound, projection, lighting, stage and one operator who watches it all.
Hybrid event production
Bring remote attendees into the room cleanly. Camera, audio mix, screens and a full hybrid feed.
Event live streaming
Single-camera capture for panels up to three-camera multi-cam for higher-budget productions.
Three ways to hire
Every service can run at one of three levels. Pick the level that matches your team and your event.
Dry hire
You collect, set up, run, return. Up to £350. Suits production companies, freelance engineers and promoters who run the kit themselves.
Delivered
We bring it, set it up, tune it, hand it over, collect it after. Your team operates on the day. Hassle-free for in-house marketing.
Operated
We bring it, set it up and we stay. Same operator your whole event. The level the team recommends for AGMs, panels and gala dinners.
For marketing + comms teams
Your event, our AV backbone
Marketing and comms teams book the venue, the caterer, the speakers, the content. The AV is often the last piece on the list and the first one to break under pressure.
ST | AV becomes your production layer so it is not on you. Recce with your team, spec against the plan, run the day, hand you the recording.
