Real life shows that having an ecological policy at the core of your decision making process need not negatively impact your business and it may just keep it viable.

AVD provides a little help to Santa’s Elves..

When the reindeer are resting it is the Elves that are tasked with transporting Santa in his Series One Landy (Hazy). For this year’s light switch on they needed some extra sounds to herald his approach to the gathered crowds.

AVD were happy to help with a pair of vehicle mounted horn speakers, amplifier and bluetooth receiver to connect the Elf’s playlist (consisting of mostly ‘Wrap’ music).

Happy Christmas from AVD!

(With thanks to our client Adam Gaunt for the picture.)

How confident are you that your supplier can cope with curveballs? In Belfast recently we had to combine in room and online interpretation into a single system. Our client was confident we would be able to do it and we did not let them down.

We love the conference work we do, it is our specialism, but some times its refreshing to do something different. For the past 12 years we have supported a village festival and helped it grow from strength to strength. This is the topic of our latest case study. After 12 years we still manage to improve year on year and are surprised when we get compliments on the quality of the sound and stage. For a small village affair it punches well above its weight.
