About us

  1. ASETS UK Ltd
  2. About us

Since 1992, ASETS UK has been working with organisations, of all sizes, to help communicate their message to audiences large and small.

If you are planning a conference or exhibition from a full stadium, requiring a huge setup or a single room event, requiring PA Hire UK, we can help.

Audiences expect quality at events. From the science and technical ability that delivers clear vocals, to cutting edge projections. We have the experience to help make your event remarkable.

Our skilled team can help with all aspects of your event. From audiovisual (AV), to stage set design and even full production management.

We work closely with your project managers from concept to completion making any bespoke solution possible. For example, many stage sets start as a sketch following a briefing, from there the design is brought to life in our Blackpool based warehouse. Installation of the finished set can be completed by our team of technicians.

What Makes ASETS UK Different?

With decades of experience in the audio visual sector and working on thousands of events, you can be assured we have the experience necessary for success. During this time we have kept pace with developments in technology giving us an enviable assortment of audio gear.

People

Our team are experienced industry veterans. More importantly, we are ‘people’ people. We get that whilst we do events all the time, for each client this is often only an annual happening. We are on your side, with a client first approach, helping to ensure you navigate your event delivery to deliver the best possible outcomes.

Bespoke

No two events are the same. Your event begins with a conversation We work with you to ensure we understand your goals and ambitions and then deliver an event specific and tailored to your requirements.

Geography

We are proud of our Blackpool and North West heritage and deliver many successful events in the region. But our clients extend across the length and breadth of the country, who partner with us based on our approach and execution and we deliver events for those across the UK and the world.

“Smooth events ensured with in-house technical expertise.”
