Soundcheck Audio Visual is built on more than 30 years of hands‑on experience in live events, theatre, corporate AV, and community fundraising. Founded by Andrew Lake, a senior sound engineer and production specialist. We’ve supported thousands of events across West Sussex and the South East, in fact across the globe! From intimate meetings to full‑scale Exhibitions.
We don’t just supply equipment. We create confidence, clarity, and connection at every event we support.

Our Story
Soundcheck AV began with a simple belief:
Great events happen when the technical side feels effortless.
Andrew’s journey started in theatre and live entertainment. Initially engineering bands in Horsham and Crawley, and working back stage at the Horsham Arts Centre, followed by seven years as a stage manager on Cunard cruise ships, including the QE2, a role that demanded precision, calm under pressure, and the ability to deliver flawless shows night after night.
After returning to the UK, Andrew built a successful AV business supporting conferences, exhibitions, awards nights, and community events in and around West Sussex, East Sussex, Hampshire and London. Over the years, Soundcheck AV has grown into a trusted local partner known for reliability, professionalism, and a friendly, human approach.
Today, we continue to support events across Worthing, Brighton, London, and the wider South East and more recently across the whole UK, bringing the same passion and attention to detail to every job.
