Fluid AV, a leading provider of smart audio-visual integration solutions, has been named a finalist in the AV Reseller and Integrator of the Year category at the AV News Awards 2026, placing the company alongside some of the most established names in the global professional AV industry.
Working across multiple sectors, including education, corporate and hospitality, the shortlisting follows a standout year of growth for the business. Over the past 12 months, Fluid AV has increased turnover by approximately 300%, doubled its workforce and expanded its UK footprint with the opening of a new office in Scotland. During this period, the company has also secured major competitive contracts, successfully winning tenders against some of the industry’s largest integrators.
Innovation has played a central role in this success. Fluid AV recently introduced a bespoke QR-based service desk system, now deployed across all AV solutions it delivers. The platform enables instant fault reporting while automatically capturing key system data, reducing service call times by up to 60% and improving the overall client experience.
