We had EES Showhire in to install new AV equipment and they did a great job. New screen, hanging projector and speakers, and linking everything up for us to make the space suitable for film nights, events, and meetings. The people at EES are very thorough and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend this business to others in need of AV installation and their expertise.

I used these guys to hire a PA speaker system for an outdoor event. As I'd got the gear for a few days I used it at home and had friends around. The serivice was fantastic and they're a real good bunch. I'm small fry really with basic pa system hire but I know they do huge concert stage hire and line array hire - Their live chat is great on the website if you're unsure like I was. Thanks Andy and Jon! Sam
