Solotech, a global leader in AV entertainment and technology, has announced the opening of a new UK headquarters.

Located in Birmingham, the new modern facility will serve as a hub for audio, video and lighting rental stock and corporate offices, as well as a central location for its sales and systems integration activities.

From this strategic location, the company is well positioned to efficiently serve the UK market and even further its future projects in Europe. The install process is underway and operations will begin in the upcoming months. Other Solotech locations in the UK continue to operate to serve client audiovisual needs.

Solotech strives to stay on top of the latest technologies in the marketplace, making it a preferred choice for high-profile clients.

With roots in audio dating back 45 years, the company continues to supply the biggest festivals, tours and live events across the UK, Europe and beyond, with a client list that includes, Isle of Wight Festival, Reading & Leeds Festival, Hyde Park BST Summer Series, Download, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Rammstein and many more.

In recent times, Solotech has expanded its UK offering into video, lighting and full 360o services, including the internationally heralded ABBA Voyage project.

John Probyn, Head of Business Development in Europe for the Live Productions Division, Solotech, commented: "This new facility gives us an operational advantage by providing efficient workflows that helps us deliver the high-quality projects that our customers have come to expect. This great workplace also ensures our staff have modern facilities with the highest health, safety and welfare standards."

Solotech has also been expanding, not only in its long-time role as a powerhouse in live production, but also as a Top 5 AV global systems integrator across the Corporate, Worship, and Transportation sectors. Its strong presence in the UK systems installation market is illuminated by inclusion on top tier projects like the Outernet, Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium, Ascot Racecourse, among countless other projects. This is augmented by a strong sales department that sees Solotech as one of the leading suppliers of new and used professional audio, lighting and video suppliers in the UK.

Solotech UK Managing Director Bryce Jewell said: "We’re delighted to have cut the ribbon on our new UK headquarters with our team this week. We have seen unprecedented growth in recent years, and this gives us the space and environment to keep us on that trajectory. Our team is very inspired for what’s ahead with our partners and clients."
