Liverpool audio team show that winning attitude

Liverpool based ADLIB Audio showed their football counterparts how to do it on Monday night, when they scooped the award for Favourite Audio Rental Company at the 2008 TPi Awards, held at the Grosvenor House hotel in London.

ADLIB has been in the nominations several times in recent years, but this is the first time they have won the accolade, which comes after their busiest year to date in 2007, which also saw over a million pounds invested in new equipment and expanding their warehouse and office facility.

ADLIB’s Andy Dockerty comments, “It was genuinely a massive shock. We never expected to win especially up against such quality opposition. We are very much a people company and I believe that this award has been won by every member of our team whose friendly and helpful attitudes from the office to on-site has been recognised and thankfully now rewarded. It is a communal effort.”

ADLIB worked with a wide range of top artists last year including The Kaiser Chiefs, Scissor Sisters, Nine Inch Nails, Kelly Jones and many others plus top level events like Glastonbury and Radio One’s Big Weekend.

The company actively encourages new generations of production industry professionals providing work experience placements for many Northwest based educational establishments accumulating in an apprenticeship scheme for successful school leavers. Adlib is also very active generally on the training and knowledge-dissemination front.

Making it clean sweep for The North, Blackburn-based HSL also scooped the award for Favourite Lighting Rental Company on their first nomination.

No doubt boosted by the Adlib win, Liverpool went on to beat Inter Milan 2-0 in the Champions League the following night.
