Founded in 2009, the company operates with 1-10 employees and is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company. It serves corporate events, exhibitions, product launches, awards ceremonies, road shows, weddings, and venue-led events, and additionally sells and installs permanent AV systems across education, government, hospitality, and conference sectors. The business is headquartered within reach of five major North West venues where it holds preferred supplier status — Manchester Central Convention Complex, Old Trafford, Etihad Stadium, ACC Liverpool, and Exhibition Centre Liverpool — and provides services across the UK and Europe.

The company's product portfolio spans rental equipment (Absen Pro LED video walls, projectors from 3,000 to 20,000 lumens, LED screens and touch displays, professional PA systems, lighting, modular staging, laptops and iPads, silent conference systems), full live event production, virtual and hybrid event delivery with secure streaming, exhibition AV support, wedding and party hire, and permanent AV sales/install/service.

Remote AV generates revenue across four streams: AV equipment hire (project/one-time), AV equipment sales (project/one-time), installation services (professional services), and recurring service and maintenance contracts (subscription). Pricing is quote-based and tailored per event or install, with no public list pricing and free consultation quotes offered. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, employing a 10-step consultation-to-execution process with on-site technical support, targeted at B2B clients across education, conference, government, hospitality, exhibitions, weddings, and venue management. Marketing is concentrated on the company website and blog, supplemented by organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X) and SEO targeting Manchester and North West search terms. Named enterprise customers include Apple, Coop, and National Theatre Live.
