How hire works with us

Four steps from first call to event day. No agency middlemen, no being passed around.

01

Free venue walkthrough

A senior tech from our team walks the room with you, in person, before quoting. We look at the audience, the format and where the kit needs to live.

02

Honest recommendation

A written spec, not a sales pitch. The kit that holds the see-and-hear guarantee for your room, plus the price you will actually pay.

03

In, tuned, ready

We arrive in your venue load-in window. Kit goes up, mics tested with you, levels set, screen aligned. Calmly.

04

On the day, with you

The same operator who walked the room with you. Watching levels, swapping mic batteries, handling the moments the agenda forgot.

Three ways to hire

Pick the level that matches your team and your event.

Dry hire

You collect, set up, run the event, return. For production companies and freelance engineers who already know the kit.

Delivered

We bring it, set it up, tune it, hand it over, collect it after. Your team runs the event. For in-house marketing and venue teams.

Operated Most popular

We bring it, set it up, and a senior tech stays on. Same operator your whole event. The level the team recommends for AGMs, panels and gala dinners.
