Chris worked with us on two Sarcoma UK photography shoots and did an excellent job. He understood the brief, worked sensitively with the people being photographed, and delivered strong, thoughtful images that captured the whole person behind each story. Professional, responsive and easy to work with throughout. I’d be very happy to recommend him. More...

When ASA were stuck without a PA system, we looked for someone who could came and see us ASAP, Chris was here in a hour and sorted out the system temporary until the new system arrived, which he installed the system last week. Couldn't recommend Chris and his team enough. Thank you for all you did for ASA. More...

Acquis Media (Chris) did a fantastic job providing AV services for our UK National Bible Quiz competition. They handled both audio (microphones, speakers, mixers) and video (projector, screen, TVs) seamlessly. The service was excellent and very reasonably priced. All AV equipment was high quality, and we experienced no issues throughout the entire program. The team was prompt, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. Thank you, Chris, for a job well done. More...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Chris set us up for the best night for my engagement party. As soon as i’d requested the PA system on the website I had a call within minutes & was introduced to Chris who was super friendly & made the set up so easy. He had the equipment set up within 10 minutes & made it so easy for us to use. Chris made drop off & collection extremely flexible to work around us. The music was blasting all night & everyone gave the best feedback about the quality & the microphone asset was a huge hit!! Can’t thank Chris enough for this, and will absolutely be using for any & every party to come! (I’ve already had friends and family ask for a contact!) Thanks so much Chris, you’re a hero!!! More...

Worked with Chris on our Exploring EMC event at the British Motor Museum. Really pleased with the work he did on the day, very professional and got on with the job at hand with no fuss. Brilliant videography throughout the day, from filming the presentations, capturing B-roll and interview guests and exhibitors. It was exactly what we were looking for. A highlights reel was put together quickly following the event and we were really happy with the results. Will definitely be using Chris and Acquis Media for future events. More...

The booking process was seamless, the staff couldn't be more helpful and the setup was professional. The top-notch projector provided crystal-clear image quality and vibrant colors, making us feel like we were right in the stadium.
