Advanced AV Solutions

What Advanced AV Solutions does

Advanced AV Solutions Ltd is a UK-based systems integrator founded in 2018 by Jordan Young and headquartered in Kingswinford, West Midlands. The company designs, supplies, and installs integrated security and audio-visual solutions for residential properties and commercial businesses across the United Kingdom. Its core technology stack is built on third-party manufacturer platforms — including HikVision for CCTV, Paxton for access control, Texecom and Honeywell for intruder alarms, Control4 for smart home automation, Barco for wireless presentation, Sonos and Monitor Audio for residential audio, and Ubiquiti for networking — with no proprietary core technology; the company's value lies in integration design, on-site engineering, and certified installation expertise rather than product development.

The company operates across two segments. The commercial division delivers CCTV surveillance, Grade 3 intruder alarms with 24/7 ARC monitoring, access control, fire alarm systems, data infrastructure (Cat5e through fibre optic), managed IT support, room booking, meeting room solutions, and digital signage for sectors including education, healthcare, hotel & leisure, industrial, local government, retail, and transport. The residential division delivers bespoke home cinema, multi-room audio, distributed video, smart home automation, and home security packages, with installations ranging from approximately £10,000 for basic AV in a 5-bedroom property to £100,000+ for comprehensive integrated systems and £30,000-£50,000+ for premium home cinemas.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time installation projects supplemented by recurring subscription streams from managed IT support contracts and Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) monitoring partnerships. Distribution is direct via field-based design specialists who conduct free on-site property surveys, with engineers located across the UK enabling nationwide delivery and 4-12 week forward booking. The company holds SSAIB certification plus accredited installer/partner status with Paxton, HikVision (HCSA), Texecom, Barco, and Control4. Advanced AV is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, operating with approximately 10 team members.
