Atlantic Audio Visual was established in 1999, in its early years the company focused on the provision of professional sound reinforcement for bands and festivals. This component of the business grew rapidly and today Atlantic Audio Visual is the leader in this segment of the market. In 2003 we were the production company of choice for all large concerts in the province, including; The Salmon Festival, Klondyke Days and the Molson Canadian House Party.

In 2001 Stephen Sparkes became a minority shareholder in the company, after close analysis it became obvious that future growth would come from the corporate audiovisual market. In the summer of 2002 we acquired a large inventory of audiovisual equipment that has allowed us to pursue this market. Since acquiring this equipment we have done such prestigious events as the Rotary Wheels and Deals 2003 and 2004, the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame and the 2003 election tours for both the Liberal Party and The PC Party. During 2004 Atlantic Audio Visual has provided audio visual conference services to HNL, The Salavation Army, Remax Canada, NATI, Music Industries Association of Newfoundland and Labrador and many others.

Recognizing the future potential of the company Stephen Sparkes acquired majority control of the company. Today Atlantic Audio Visual is a full service production company. It has an inventory valued in excess of $1,200k and a highly trained professional staff with over 55 years experience. As well we have formed strategic partnerships with Global Convention Services [Atlantic Canada’s largest supplier of trade show equipment], Tour Tech [One of Canada’s largest sound reinforcement and lighting companies] and AVW-Telav [The largest AV Company in Canada]. Our partnerships with these companies allow us to bid on any event that happens in Newfoundland and Labrador.

During 2004 Atlantic Audio Visual had excellent growth in the audio visual segment of the market and our company now falls under the umbrella of Clayton Inns owned and operated in Newfoundland by the Sparkes family. Mr Scott Giannou has now assumed a management role in the operations of Atlantic Audio Visual and with the excellent reputation of Sparkes family in the hospitality industry Atlantic Audio Visual will continue to exceed our customer’s expectations in the years to come.

Success in our past has come from taking the time to fully understand the needs of our customers. Once we have a full understanding of those needs we deliver by providing state of the art equipment, highly trained professional support personnel at a price that is fair. Our commitment to our customer is what will ensure our future success.
