Spotlight Sound Appoints Ed Guest as AV Service Engineer
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.
What AV Service Engineer, Ed Says:
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.” He goes on to say that “Working in AV never really feels like a job, and it’s clear the rest of the team here feels the same way. That shared passion makes a huge difference. My aim is to bring greater efficiency to each project. That comes from preparation, planning, and strong communication, whether that’s with Sam or the wider team. I want to make each job run smarter.”
Ed says he’s drawn to Spotlight Sound’s attention to detail and strong design ethos: “You can get a job done, but if it looks terrible, it misses the mark. What I love about Spotlight Sound is that they never compromise on quality or presentation. It’s done right.”
As the AV industry continues to evolve, Ed is keen to help Spotlight Sound stay ahead of the trends. “LED tech has exploded from programmable panels to immersive room lighting, it’s changed everything. Add to that the insane clarity you can now get from modern speaker systems, and you’ve got tools that open up so many creative possibilities. I’m excited to bring that tech into more of our installs and shows.”
What Business Owner, Sam Dimond Says:
“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.”
