UK - Essex-based event production and AV installation company Spotlight Sound has announced its partnership with Hylands Estate. Spotlight Sound is now the accredited event production partner for the 574-acre estate.
Chelmsford-based Spotlight Sound was founded in 2009 by director Sam Dimond. In that time, the business has grown exponentially and now supports events with production and audio-visual equipment across Essex and throughout the UK. Spotlight Sound has worked on the BBC Make A Difference Awards, The London Football Awards, and many other high-profile events. During the Covid pandemic they spectacularly lit up Hylands House as well as other venues across the city in NHS colours to thank our emergency services for their work on behalf of Chelmsford City Council.
Sam Dimond says. “Our partnership with Hylands Estate means we can continue to help their clients technically put on the very best events at this amazing historic venue. We have been working with Hylands Estate for several years, and we know the venue better than anyone.
“We are here to advise on the best technical equipment and support to make events at this beautiful house and estate stand out. Spotlight Sound is as committed to helping businesses looking to host their corporate events here, as we are to helping private clients of the Hylands Estate wanting to put on a show stopping event.”
Hylands Estate is already one of the most popular venues in Essex for weddings as well as offering corporate events, workshops, festivals and outdoor cinema. Owned by Chelmsford City Council from 1966, its tenth owner since 1730, the Grade II* Hylands House was originally built for Sir John Comyns and has gone through significant periods of restoration over the years'.
Thomas Woodards, events and business development manager at Hylands Estate, comments, “At Hylands we aim to work with local businesses whenever we can and we’ve enjoyed an excellent working relationship with the Spotlight Sound team for many years. We are keen to build on the strong reputation we have for events here at the estate, so we’re pleased to now be able to offer an accredited provider with a strong reputation and commitment to our venue. It means our clients can go as big or as small as they want with their event and be confidently supported by Spotlight Sound in partnership with our events team.”
