Meet the Elite AV Team

Your Partners in Innovation

At Elite AV, our team is the backbone of our success. Each member brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for cutting-edge technology, ensuring we deliver the best possible solutions and services.

Neil Manwaring

Managing Director

I started my audio-visual career over 25 years ago in the leisure industry installing into pubs and clubs, then moved across to high profile exhibitions and events across the globe. This ultimately evolved into several requirements by our clients to provide more permanent commercial installations and this was when Elite AV was born. Since our conception in 2013 we’ve gone from strength to strength, with a wide range of prestige and blue chip clients, exciting installations and a fantastic team behind us.

Mike Duckett

Technical Director

I have been in the AV industry for 20 years in roles ranging from Sales, Pre-sales, Installation, Service, and Support. I like to think of myself as the Elite AV jack of all trades, with my main areas of focus being client consultation, design and overall commercial growth.

James Snelling

Project Manager

I have been in the Audio-Visual Industry for 20 plus years and have worked as an Engineer, Project Manager and Technical Director. I now enjoy the role of Project Manager for Elite AV and consider this the best job I have ever had. My strengths lie in managing our team of engineers to deliver best in class installations and interpreting what our clients need to ensure they get the best experience. Prior to AV, I have 11 years’ service with the Royal Engineers, which provided me the skill sets I need in my day-to-day life, both professionally and personally.

Alan Smith

Finance Manager

I joined Elite AV back in 2016 bringing over 15 years of experience in the construction industry.

Keith Bostock

Support Team Manager

I started in AV when I left school over 40 years ago and have a wide breadth of experience in all aspects of AV – from End User, to Project Management and all aspects in-between.  Most recently, before joining Elite AV I ran the service departments for a few companies that do High-End Residential AV Installations in and around London, supporting their Hi-Net Worth clients properties both in the UK & Europe.

Lizzie Bilham

Office Manager

My role involves overseeing various documentation, invoicing, and day-to-day tasks. I really enjoy being part of the team here at Elite AV. I have numerous years’ experience in administration.
