How hire works with us
Four steps from first call to event day. No agency middlemen, no being passed around.

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.

03
In, tuned, ready
We arrive in your venue load-in window. Kit goes up, mics tested with you, levels set, screen aligned. Calmly.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most from Manchester event teams.

Do you supply the confidence monitor?

Can I hire just the lectern, without mics or PA?
Yes, dry lectern from £180. Most clients add at least mics and PA, because a lectern without a working PA is just furniture.
