What Elite AV does

Elite AV Limited is a UK-based private audio-visual integration company headquartered in Cheam, Surrey, founded in 2013 by Neil Manwaring. The company designs, installs, supports, and rents custom AV systems for corporate businesses, high-net-worth homeowners, event organisers, and public sector organisations, combining hardware sourced from leading manufacturers with in-house bespoke programming and pre-build testing delivered by an 11-person engineering and management team. Its four integrated service lines — Consultancy, Expert Installation, Technical Support, and Rental Systems — function as a unified offering in which the team consults on requirements, designs and commissions systems, provides ongoing maintenance, and supplies short-term rental equipment for events and exhibitions.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-based pricing model with no public pricing, invoicing 100% within 30 days per standard terms. Distribution is direct-only via a consultative enterprise sales motion, with no reseller or partner channel; marketing relies on the company website, case studies, and a modest organic social presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and X. Revenue is split across one-time installation projects, equipment rentals, and ongoing professional services/support. The company displays a broad enterprise and government client base including Home Office, Kent Police, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, John Lewis & Partners, CBRE, Aldermore, IFM Investors, Shelter, Achilles Therapeutics, and Orchard Therapeutics, but discloses no revenue figures and has no external institutional investors, patents, partnerships, or AI/ML capabilities referenced in available materials.

Core offering

Elite AV designs, supplies, and installs custom audio-visual systems for commercial and high-end residential spaces, combining products from leading manufacturers with bespoke in-house programming. The company also provides short-term AV equipment rental for events, exhibitions, and road shows, alongside ongoing technical support and maintenance for installed systems.

Product overview

Elite AV is a services-based audio-visual solutions company offering four integrated core services: Consultancy (advisory and design), Expert Installation (custom AV system design, programming, and on-site installation), Technical Support (ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting), and Rental Systems (short-term equipment hire). These services work together as a unified offering — the company first consults with clients to design customized systems, then installs and commissions them, provides ongoing support, and offers rental options for temporary needs. The company specializes in video conferencing, home automation, projection, video walls, screens, and bespoke programming. Elite AV does not offer a packaged software platform; rather, it delivers tailored AV solutions as a service offering, combining hardware selection from leading manufacturers with in-house installation and programming expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Midwich Group: AIM-listed UK AV distributor and solutions provider supplying products and integration services across corporate, education, and public-sector markets. Comparable to Elite AV as a UK AV market participant and indirect competitor for integration work, but operates at much larger scale and primarily as a distributor.

Comparable as a UK market participant whose direct enterprise sales and certified-partner programme shape Elite AV's competitive environment and channel economics.
