Ed Guest – AV service engineer

UK - Spotlight Sound, a fast-growing national AV and event production company based in Essex, has announced the appointment of Ed Guest as its new AV service engineer. With over 15 years of experience across theatre, live events, and AV installation, Ed brings considerable technical expertise to the expanding Spotlight Sound team.

Spotlight Sound specialises in audio-visual installations, event production, and equipment hire across the UK, with clients ranging from local authorities and schools to national venues and entertainment providers. As the company continues to grow, Ed’s addition is set to strengthen its technical offering and drive further excellence in project delivery.

Ed's journey in AV began in school theatres, eventually leading him to a BTEC in technical theatre and a BA in Lighting Design at Rose Bruford College. He has worked in senior technician posts at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and London Borough of Hillingdon venues as well as cruise ship show operations, and national installations for high-profile clients such as Warner Leisure Hotels, Butlins, and the RHS gardens.

Ed says: “The best thing about joining Spotlight Sound has been the inclusion of everyone on the team. I’m out and about a lot, but still very much feel connected to the office and the wider crew. I’m particularly excited to bring my lighting experience into play and help unlock the full potential of every venue we work in.”

“Ed brings a great mix of technical knowledge and creative vision,” says Sam Dimond, owner of Spotlight Sound. “He understands how to make AV function, but also look incredible. His experience across theatre, live events, and high-end installs makes him a real asset to our team as we continue to grow. I’m excited to see how his skills will help build on what we already deliver for our clients.”
