AV Design-Led Collaboration for Traditum’s New Leeds Office

A Consultative Approach from Day One

Universal worked closely with Traditum from the outset, taking the time to understand how the space would be used before recommending solutions. Through site visits, demonstrations, and stakeholder consultations, the team explored different options and identified the technology that would deliver the best balance of functionality, usability, and value.

Rather than recommending technology that exceeded the brief, Universal focused on delivering a solution aligned to Traditum’s operational needs and budget. This consultative approach gave the team confidence that every decision was being made with their specific requirements and long-term goals in mind.

Supporting the Entire Office Fit-Out

As the project progressed, Universal’s involvement extended far beyond AV.

Beyond AV design and installation, Universal provided practical support throughout the refurbishment. Working alongside electricians, IT providers, and other contractors, the team advised on infrastructure, cabling, connectivity, and room preparation, helping to bridge the gap between technology requirements and practical implementation.

Acting as a trusted advisor throughout the project, Universal helped simplify what could otherwise have been a complex process, giving Traditum the confidence to focus on the wider office transformation while ensuring the technology foundations were in place for effective collaboration.

Delivering a Seamless Collaboration Environment

Following consultation and careful evaluation of the available options, Universal designed and delivered a meeting room solution tailored to Traditum’s operational needs. At the heart of the space is a professional collaboration environment designed to support Microsoft Teams meetings, client presentations, and day-to-day communication between the Leeds and London offices.

The solution combines a commercial display with integrated video conferencing technology, flexible content-sharing options, and an intelligent camera system that automatically tracks participants, creating a more engaging experience for remote attendees.

The result is a simple, intuitive meeting space that feels effortless to use that enables seamless collaboration while delivering the reliability and performance expected from a modern workplace environment.

The Outcome

Traditum now benefits from a modern collaboration space that supports communication between its Leeds and London teams, enhances client interactions, and provides a professional environment for meetings and presentations.

More importantly, the project demonstrates the value of partnership. By providing guidance from the earliest planning stages, coordinating with contractors throughout the fit-out, and delivering a solution tailored to Traditum’s specific needs, Universal helped transform an empty office into a connected, future-ready workplace.

Client Feedback

“As this was our first office fit-out project in Leeds, we didn’t know where to start with AV or many of the wider technology requirements. Universal were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Chris took the time to understand exactly what we needed, guided us through the options, worked directly with contractors on our behalf, and helped us make informed decisions every step of the way.”
