From Outdated to Outstanding at Aire Park for TPT Retirement Solutions

Choosing Universal AV

While an incumbent IT provider was initially considered for the project, it quickly became clear that dedicated AV expertise was essential. Overbury, the principal contractor for the Aire Park fitout, recommended Universal AV based on previous successful collaborations.

TPT commented that it was clear to them after initial consultations, that Universal’s approach stood out. Universal offered more than a specification, they provided understanding, advice, and partnership. Aron’s clear guidance, technical expertise, and a strong understanding of TPT’s needs helped shape the vision for each space and gave confidence in the project’s delivery and long-term support.

The Solution

Social and Town Hall Space

A key requirement was creating a multi-functional social area to host all-company briefings and town hall events. The solution included:

• A large LED display with repeater screens to ensure visibility from every corner of the space.
• A movable lectern for presenters.
• Ceiling speakers for even audio coverage.
• Lapel and handheld microphones for flexibility.
• Camera tracking to allow presenters to move freely while remaining visible to the audience.
• Digital signage capabilities to display key messages when the space was not in use for events.

This professional, reliable setup delivers a consistent experience for all attendees, both in-room and remote.

Media Room

Previously, teams around the business had struggled to host webinars or record podcasts professionally, often resorting to working from home due to poor AV capabilities. Universal designed a bespoke solution for the new media room, tailored to TPT’s needs:

• Professional-grade cameras, microphones, and lighting equipment for high-quality recordings.
• A simplified setup, allowing non-technical users to produce polished content with ease.
• Room for growth, enabling TPT to expand their marketing capabilities in the future.

This space has transformed TPT’s ability to connect with clients and stakeholders, supporting its ambition to stand out in the pensions sector.

Meeting Spaces

Simplicity was key. Across nine meeting rooms, Universal deployed a standardised Yealink solution:

• Wireless presentation and video conferencing capabilities.
• Integrated ceiling speakers for consistent sound quality.
• Biamp Room booking panels for visibility and efficiency.
• A tidy, cable-free environment to reduce maintenance issues and improve the user experience.

Staff can now walk into any room and start meetings instantly – delivering on TPT’s vision for effortless collaboration.

Seamless Delivery

Despite infrastructure challenges affecting microphone performance during installation, Universal worked closely with manufacturers and contractors to resolve issues swiftly. Collaboration with Overbury ensured the project ran smoothly, with no delays to TPT’s relocation timeline.

The project management from Universal AV, received praise for clear communication, attention to detail, and making complex technology easy to understand for all stakeholders.

The Outcome

TPT’s new Aire Park headquarters is now equipped with a future-ready AV solution that supports its mission of simplicity and high performance:

• Professional, engaging all-company briefings.
• Enhanced client communications and marketing capabilities.
• Frustration-free meeting experiences across all rooms.
• Scalable, long-term technology that will support business growth.

Universal AV’s expertise transformed an empty floorplate into a connected, collaborative workplace designed to meet both current and future needs.
