About Us

Directors – Dave Garbutt & Neil Kaufman

In 1996 Dave and Neil both started work on the same day for an Audio-Visual company in Liverpool that installed and serviced sound systems, televisions, large video displays and lighting effects in bars, restaurants and nightclubs nationwide which included brands such as Revolution, Pop World, Flares, Reflex and O’Neil’s to name a few. These two young motivated men formed a strong friendship over their passion and excitement for anything technology related. This passion is still very evident today in the excitement displayed when new technology is released for the audio visual sector, they are always making sure they are trained and updated with all new releases not because they have to but because they love it. It truly is their passion. A passion which is shared by all members of their team.

After working for various other companies in the audio video and automation industry they became aware that some of the companies they were working for did not share their passion for the industry or making sure the customers got the very best experience from the systems they had purchased. So, they decided to create Audiolux in 2007 using their friendship, skills and experience as the foundation for the company to offer customers a friendly and professional service, that ensured the customers got the very best from the systems they had installed.

Fast forward a few years and they have now built a great team around them with these core values playing a major role in the operation of the business. A big part of their previous experience was in the building management sector designing, manufacturing and commissioning bespoke control panels for applications such as HVAC, swimming pools and intelligent lighting.

Gaining these skills has been a key part in their success and has given them the flexibility to offer a wide range of solutions commercially. It has also given them the ability to become one of the most desired installers in the luxury residential market where they have found that that the individual AV and Automation industries have come together to offer homeowners control of TV’s, music, security, heating and lighting all with the touch of a button.

Neil and Dave are both family orientated business men, so whether it be your business or family life in their hands you can guarantee it will be treated as if it was their own, ensuring you get a system that is the perfect fit for you.
