Computer & Audio-Visual Equipment Hire

...is no longer available from Daily Information. (Nor is general computer advice or repair - sorry!)

  • Skylake Rentals (Southampton-based): 0845 223 4946

If on the other hand you are seeking a local AV equipment installation company, you may wish to try this independent local specialist:
