Solo AV

What Solo AV does

Solo AV is a privately-held UK B2B event production company, incorporated as Solo Av Ltd. and operating from High Wycombe with a secondary warehouse and operational facility in Hayes. Founded in 2014 and employing between one and ten people, the company delivers technical event production, bespoke exhibition stand builds, and LED screen and AV equipment hire for corporate, exhibition, and private/wedding events across England. Its work has included engagements for enterprise clients such as the BBC and Nissan, alongside a horizontal mix of corporate functions, trade shows/expos, and private celebrations.

The company's service portfolio is organized around three core offerings — Event Production, Exhibition Stand Build, and LED Screen & AV Hire — supported by in-house technical capabilities that include fine-pitch LED screens (2.6mm and 3.9mm), professional media servers and switchers, PA systems, production and IP-rated outdoor lighting, moving heads, and rigging. A distinguishing operational element is vertical integration in fabrication: Solo AV runs in-house CNC machines and finishing equipment operated by skilled carpenters, plus eco-friendly large-format UV printing, enabling rapid prototyping and quick-turnaround production of custom sets, stages, and exhibition stands without outsourcing to third-party fabricators.

Solo AV generates revenue through project-based professional services fees for event production and exhibition stand design/build, plus equipment rental income from LED screens, sound, and lighting hire — all priced via custom quotes rather than publicly disclosed rates. The company operates a single-country/domestic distribution model, acquiring customers through its website (soloav.co.uk), direct phone and email contact, and a maintained social presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, with email newsletter communications handled via Klaviyo CRM. Pricing is opaque and not published, and there is no disclosed investor base, funding history, or external ownership.
