County Down-based AV specialist Fluid AV has announced a major investment as the company sets its sights on expanding services across the UK.

A £300,000 investment has doubled the company’s workspace at Windmill Business Park, Saintfield, through the acquisition of a second office building and the addition of a new showroom. At the same time, Fluid AV has opened an Edinburgh office to service clients across Scotland and the North of England, already completing projects for notable organisations including Edinburgh Photographic Society and family support charity Fife Gingerbread.

Founded by Stephen Mayne in 2006, Fluid AV has grown steadily to become a go-to name for cutting-edge audiovisual solutions. Growth accelerated in May 2025 with the appointment of Dave McKeown as Sales Director in Northern Ireland, strengthening leadership for a team of twelve AV professionals. The launch of the Edinburgh office, led by Scott Rorrison as Business Development Manager, has extended the company’s reach and laid the groundwork for delivering even bigger and better AV projects nationwide.

Today, Fluid AV is recognised as one of the fastest-growing AV integrators in the UK, known for technical reliability, responsive service, and a forward-thinking approach. Over the past 12 months, the company has scaled its infrastructure and rolled out several in-house innovations, including a high-tech QR-based support system that has cut service response times by 60%.

Fluid AV also holds the distinction of being the only company in Northern Ireland accepted into the PSNI Global Alliance partner network, a prestigious certification recognising the best AV/UCC providers in each market.

“Our growth has been rapid, but it’s been driven by the right things: long-term customer relationships, technical integrity, and a culture of listening and solving,” said Managing Director Stephen Mayne. “This past year has been transformational, not just in terms of size, but in how we operate, innovate, and look to the future.”

The company works across corporate, education, government, and visitor attraction sectors, with clients including Queen’s University Belfast, Titanic Belfast, Tayto, the Irish Football Association, Translink, and Aflac. It also holds ISO 14001 certification, has digitised internal systems to reduce waste, and has pledged to donate over £25,000 worth of refurbished AV equipment to charitable causes by the end of 2025, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

“We’re proud of where we’ve come from and excited about where we’re going,” added Stephen. “Our success shows that a Northern Ireland business can lead the way in technology, sustainability, and service – and we’re just getting started.”
