With over 23 years of experience in audio visual, event staging and computer hire, corporate and business event staging specialists, Microhire has recently announced the acquisition of Melbourne based Durham AV.

Established in the 1960’s, Durham AV is a well-respected audio visual supplier to the Melbourne exhibition, conference and venue markets.

“With several long-term technical staff, that hold a wealth of industry IP, the company has an extensive client base that will integrate well with Microhire’s small, medium to large businesses who value the company’s ‘can do’ attitude, ‘will do’ reliability and value for money. I am excited by the purchase of such a well respected industry player as Durham AV,” said Shayne Liddell, general manager, Microhire Group.

“They have some unique products such as the LED Lightfast units, a group of highly skilled experienced staff and an operation that can bolt-on to our existing Microhire Group of Companies. Together I know we can deliver some great outcomes for the industry.”

The purchase of the business was finalised on 1 December and for now will continue to trade as Durham AV.
