    Freelance AV work that comes to you

    You set the terms. We handle the rest. The network is built to keep good specialists busy with the right work.

    Get matched to work across the UK

    We bring the work to you. When a job lands near you and fits your skills, you are first in line - no cold outreach, no chasing leads.

    Set your own categories, day rate and travel radius

    You stay in control. Choose the disciplines you cover, the rate you work at, and how far you are willing to travel for a job.

    We handle dispatch and client management

    You focus on the engineering. We handle the client relationship, scheduling, scope and paperwork so you can turn up and deliver.

    Design and programming specialists are matched nationally

    Control programming, audio DSP and system design are matched across the whole country - so remote and on-site specialist work reaches you wherever you are.

    Work as an independent supplier

    You know what a job pays before you accept it - clear scope, clear day rate, no surprises. Invoice through your own limited company or umbrella, outside IR35 where the role allows.

    What we ask of you

    Every MAV install is built and signed off to one fixed spec, drawn from the Cisco, Logitech, Neat, Shure and Poly design guides and the standards behind them. These are the numbers you hit on site. Anything off-spec is snagged and fixed before sign-off.

    Freelance AV work: common questions

    Do you work with limited company and umbrella contractors?

    Yes. We engage you as an independent supplier, so you can work through your own limited company or an umbrella. IR35 status is assessed per assignment and we are clear about it before you accept a job.

    How is my day rate set?

    You tell us your day rate when you join. We confirm the rate and the scope with you before you accept any job, so you always know what a job pays before you commit.

    What kind of freelance AV work do you place?

    Install and field engineering, commissioning, control programming (Atlona, Crestron, AMX, QSC / Q-SYS), audio DSP (Shure, QSC / Q-SYS, Biamp), system design (CTS-D), UC and VC room work (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex and Pexip on HP Poly, Neat, Cisco and Logitech) and specialist build such as LED and video walls. List as many disciplines as you cover.

    Where in the UK do you have work?

    We deliver across the UK and you set your own travel radius, so you only hear about jobs you would actually take. Design and programming work is matched nationally, including remote work where the job allows.

    Do I need CTS or other certifications?

    A real track record on AV or VC projects matters most. We ask for the certifications a discipline genuinely calls for, for example CTS or CTS-D for design work, plus the right manufacturer accreditations for programming.

    Do I need references?

    Yes. As part of joining we ask for references or proof of recent work, so the clients we place you with can trust who turns up on site. Have a couple of recent client or contractor references ready.

    How do I get paid?

    You invoice for the work you complete, and we agree clear payment terms with you up front so there are no surprises.

    How long does it take to join?

    The application takes a couple of minutes: your disciplines, certifications, day rate and coverage area. Once you are in the network, we get in touch when a job near you fits your skills.
