What Audiebant does

Audiebant is a UK-based communications technology company founded in 2018 that provides integrated mass communication systems combining audio announcements, visual screen alerts, and mobile push notifications for both emergency response and daily operational use. The product suite spans Audiebant Audio (internal and external IP speakers), Audiescreen (digital signage visual alerts), Audiesafe (mobile alerts that bypass Do Not Disturb modes), Audiesafe Lone Worker and First Response apps, Audiebant Wearables, and a world-first solar-powered outdoor mobile PA system. Underpinning these is a serverless architecture with intelligence embedded in endpoints rather than central servers, orchestrated through a cloud-based unified control portal (Audiebant Control). The system features AI-powered text-to-speech supporting 200+ languages with 3,500+ voice choices, smart zoning for targeted announcements, and pre-configured emergency scenarios aligned with Martyn's Law threat categories.

Audiebant primarily serves education institutions (schools, colleges, and universities), healthcare providers (NHS trusts and medical practices), corporate and commercial sites, hospitality and leisure venues, public space and retail, stadiums and arenas, local authorities, and industrial facilities, with 600+ client sites across the UK, European installations including Luxembourg, and a US market launch announced for March 2026. Named customers include Kirklees College, Preston College, Glasgow School of Art, Bishop Barrington Academy, Katherine Warington School, St Francis of Assisi Catholic College, Temple Moor High School, Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Merlin Entertainments (Madame Tussauds, SEALIFE, Peter Rabbit Explore and Play Blackpool), and Pulse Fitness. The company pursues a consultative enterprise field-sales motion in the UK and a distributor-led model internationally, exhibiting at major industry events across security, education, and facilities management.

The business generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (IP-based endpoints), recurring subscription access to the Audiebant Control cloud portal, and professional services including installation (sometimes via partners such as Dacha), custom audio production, training, and ongoing support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held under JIG Holdings Ltd, led by CEO Josh Dean and Executive Chairman Russell Schofield-Bezer (appointed May 2026), with Founder Director Gary Dean and Ian Rose as Founder and Strategy Director of the holding company. Audiebant holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, was recognized as a 2024 Spectator Innovator of the Year regional winner and Prolific North Tech Awards Best Infrastructure Partner, and has raised a seven-figure funding round from NPIF II and Praetura Ventures in 2025.
