TVD Group, a leading AV technology supplier and installer of commercial audio-visual projects, has opened The TVD Experience Centre, billed as the Tech Hub of the North.
In over a year-long upgrade and £600,000 investment of its existing headquarters in Bolton, the opening of the TVD Experience Centre is the crowning jewel for a business that has been the driving force in AV technology in the north of the UK for nearly 30 years.
This forward-thinking company has recently transitioned to an employee-owned business, with the Trust now owning 51% of the shares of the business.
The TVD Experience Centre features immersive display areas, innovative products and fully integrated solutions from TVD’s key partners including Samsung, Philips, LG and over a dozen big-name brands in the AV sector, who sent representatives to speak to the press on the opening day.
Highlights on the Experience Centre include Samsung’s £130,000 110-inch ‘The Wall’ MircoLED display, Vestel’s latest commercial display range, TVs from Mitchell & Brown, and premium commercial audio products. Innovative technologies on show include LG Electronics’ stunning LED 136-inch all-in-one smart series, Philips power-free Tableaux ePaper displays and Accenta hanging digital posters.
The Group grew out of a TV retail business, with Jim Brown and his sons Matthew and Daniel opening TV and Video Direct in 1996 and has grown to be one of the UK’s leading AV technology distributors to the commercial and retail trade, including launching its own TV brand, Mitchell & Brown. TVC Technology Solutions, a division of TVD Group, that supplies a range of industries including betting, retail, leisure, hospitality, care, education, sports stadia and corporate venues, has this year been nominated for two major AV industry installation awards for the project they completed at the Formula 1 Arcade in central London.
