What Fisher does
Fisher Audio Visual (legal entity: Fisher Presentations Ltd) is a UK-based audio visual equipment hire and event production services company headquartered at 11 Wharfside Business Park, Irlam, Manchester. The company provides a comprehensive catalog of AV equipment for rental - including audio systems (PA systems, microphones, speakers, mixers, DJ equipment), video equipment (cameras, switchers, projectors, displays), lighting, staging, and IT hardware sourced from leading manufacturers such as Shure, Bose, QSC, Panasonic, and Blackmagic - alongside full-service event production covering conferences, AGMs, awards ceremonies, product launches, roadshows, and exhibitions. A distinctive capability is Virtual Rooms, a proprietary live streaming studio featuring a 13m x 4m LED wall backdrop, theatre and event lighting rig, professional audio, five broadcast-quality cameras, and a dedicated Gigabit fibre network, also available as a mobile deployment.
The company operates on a sales-led, B2B go-to-market with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Customers reach Fisher through phone inquiries (0800 0180 515), website contact forms, and direct outreach, after which the in-house team of technicians and project managers coordinates equipment delivery and event execution. Revenue is generated through two primary streams: equipment hire and rental (hardware sales) and event production services (professional services), with adjacent revenue from digital signage, set/stage/furniture rentals, and conference packages. Geographic focus is the North West of England, with Marquee enterprise customers including Liverpool FC, Manchester FA, Cartier, Bupa, Selfridges, Hermes, Craghoppers, and Thomas Cook across sports, retail, luxury goods, healthcare, logistics, and travel end markets. Marketing is conducted through a company website, an active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X), and direct phone-based sales, and the company has been operating for over four decades (with 50 years of stated video expertise).

Fisher competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- NEP Group: Worldwide broadcast and live events production services company; an incumbent that competes for large-scale virtual/hybrid events where Fisher's Virtual Rooms offering also plays, but at far greater scale.
- PRG (Production Resource Group): Global AV and event production giant offering audio, video, lighting, and rigging at a scale and geographic reach far exceeding Fisher; competes for the same enterprise corporate events and represents the national/international incumbent Fisher faces on larger bids.

- Versatile Audio Visual: UK AV hire and event services provider focused on corporate events, conferences, and exhibitions — a comparable mid-sized hire-plus-production competitor to Fisher.
- Delta Sound (Solotech): UK-based audio rental and event production company, also part of the Solotech group; competes directly with Fisher on corporate event audio hire and large-format event production.
