What Tateside does

Tateside Limited is a London-based audiovisual and IT services integrator founded in 2008 by three former Astro Communications employees (Andy Sullivan, Graham Agambar, and Richard Day) and led operationally by Technical Director Jack Cornish, who joined as a junior technician that same year. The company operates as a technology-agnostic turnkey provider, designing, installing, programming, and supporting audiovisual systems and IT infrastructure for corporate enterprises, premium hospitality, retail, education, and high-end residential clients from its 23-person team (18 AV specialists, 5 IT specialists) based at a purchased headquarters near Tower Bridge, London, which also houses a demonstration showroom.

Core offerings span six service lines: Communication & Collaboration (Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Google Meet Rooms with BYOD capabilities), Audio Systems (background music through stadium-scale PA), Digital Signage, IT Services (networking, cybersecurity, unified communications), Managed Services and Maintenance (including AVaaS subscriptions converting CapEx to OpEx), and Home Technology. The technology stack is built on a Q-SYS networked AV backbone, integrated with over 40 hardware partners including Neat, Logitech, Cisco, Crestron, Samsung, Bose Professional, Shure, Martin Audio, 1 Sound, and Microsoft Teams. Bespoke intellectual property includes a custom screen shroud manufactured with British furniture designer Matthew Hill, and a Neowit workplace analytics integration for ghost meeting detection and space utilisation.

Revenue is generated through project-based AV/IT system integration (professional services), ongoing managed services contracts with SLAs and remote monitoring, and a subscription AVaaS offering under multi-year contract terms with quotation-based pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led from London, anchored on word-of-mouth referrals, showroom demonstrations, and direct enterprise engagement; clients include Soho House Group (since 2013), WatchHouse (15 sites, targeting 500 by 2033), WeWork, Mercedes F1, Landsec, Selfridges, University of the Arts London, Three Hills Capital, and Gordon Ramsay Restaurants. Tateside is privately held by its three co-founders with no external institutional investment.
