CP Venue Consulting Ltd

What CP Venue Consulting Ltd does

CP Venue Consulting Ltd is a UK-based venue technology consultancy, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The firm provides specialist consulting across the three core technology domains that underpin modern venues and event spaces: IT networks (WAN/LAN/LTE/5G), audio-visual systems, and building management infrastructure. Its client base spans venue operators (Central Hall Venues, P&J Live/TECA Aberdeen, Kings Place), cultural and educational institutions (Royal Academy of Music, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, West Heath School), event producers and broadcasters (ITV for Katy Perry: Night of a Lifetime, the EBRD AGM 2025, EFG London Jazz Festival 2025, and the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025), and property/hospitality groups across London, Edinburgh, York, Aberdeen, Dudley, Kent, the Midlands and Leeds.

The offering is delivered as discrete professional services engagements rather than a packaged product. Core deliverables include technology consulting (AV/IT/BM), systems design, project management of technology build-outs, ICT systems auditing, and specialist LTE/5G project consulting. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, with all engagements routed directly through the founder, Chris, via [email protected]. There is no subscription component, no published rate card, and no intermediated go-to-market. Marketing is limited to one disclosed Inavate Magazine feature and inbound reputation-driven referrals; the firm does not run formal demand generation.

The business is structurally a solo/small consultancy. Headcount is disclosed at 1-10, with Chris as Founder and principal consultant, supported operationally by working relationships (not formal partnerships) with production companies, AV suppliers, and broadcasters. Chris's prior role as Director of Technical & ICT at Kings Place in Central London underpins the firm's positioning, complemented by documented involvement in some of the UK's most nationally prominent live events, including Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and Charles III's coronation. No external investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, patents, or disclosed financials are evidenced in the source material.

Core offering

CP Venue Consulting provides specialist consulting services for venues and events across three core technology domains: IT networks (WAN/LAN/LTE/5G), audio-visual systems, and building management infrastructure. Engagements span the full project lifecycle — from systems design, procurement, and specification through to project management, implementation oversight, ICT auditing, and on-site technology leadership for high-profile live events and broadcast productions.

Product overview

CP Venue Consulting Ltd is a venue technology and infrastructure consulting firm founded in 2018, providing specialist advisory services for contemporary buildings and event venues.

Services are delivered through named consulting engagements for specific venue projects, technology events, and infrastructure assessments.
