TOURING SOLUTIONS LTD

What TOURING SOLUTIONS LTD does

Touring Solutions Ltd is a privately held UK-based full-service production house headquartered in Newbury, Berkshire, that provides tour and production management, logistics, equipment, and design services to the live music and entertainment industries. The company operates worldwide, supporting events ranging from single club shows to full arena and stadium tours across Europe and global markets, with a recently extended footprint into sports events (notably Tennis Australia). Its core offering is bundled into eight service modules — tour/production management, CAD and design services, personnel, transportation, financing, ATA carnet processing, equipment provisioning, and shipping and storage — delivered either individually or as an integrated package.

The company's technical and operational stack centers on CAD-based design for set construction and rigging plots, an in-house ATA carnet processing capability with same-day turnaround for international equipment shipments, and a multimodal logistics network combining air, road, and sea freight supported by global partner agents and on-ground specialist personnel. Secure storage facilities are located near London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports for short- and long-term equipment storage between tours. Equipment procurement is enabled through partnership agreements with major industry suppliers, allowing the firm to provision everything from small backline packages to full touring productions.

Commercially, Touring Solutions sells on a project/tour basis via direct B2B engagement with artists, managers, music promoters, and entertainment companies, with custom-quoted pricing per engagement. Revenue is generated as professional services fees across the eight modules, with no public pricing, no platform or SaaS component, and no disclosed external funding. The company appears to be founder-owned and independently operated, with a current headcount of 1-10 employees and a client roster that includes BabyMetal, Wu Tang Clan, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Herbie Hancock, Lauryn Hill, Volbeat, UB40, Marcus Miller, The Pretenders, and others.
