There may also be a requirement from time to time for travel outside the UK into overseas territories to meet the needs of the clients.
Installations can range from just plugging a music player into a full system installation which can be a small project eg 4 speakers an amplifier and a music player, to a large installation of a high number of speakers, amplifiers and screens into a site.
