about us

Tradition
Istead began trading in the 1930s, originally formed as a family business supplying and servicing cine projectors, before moving into the dry hire of audio-visual equipment to hotels throughout the Midlands. Over the years, we have continually adopted the latest in AV technology and presentation solutions, leading to our position as the high quality conference and event production company we are today.

Prime Location
From our Midlands base we are ideally situated to service the needs of clients and venues based across Britain and Europe, with convenient access to the national motorway network and major UK airports.

Mission Statement
We believe it is our creative capabilities, coupled with the technical know-how and flexibility of our operations team that differentiates our service from other audio-visual companies. We strive to provide a friendly, flexible service, meeting and exceeding our client’s event requirements in any way possible. Our approach is highlighted by our mission statement which is:

To provide outstanding customer service and creativity in our chosen market place.
