Orbital has recently expanded and refurbished its Brixton based HQ and announced the launch of a distinct but complementary division FIXIT. FIXIT offers a 24/7 maintenance service contract for out-of-house installations and productions as well as a comprehensive repairs facility for all audio and comms equipment.

FIXIT offers a new concept in maintenance and back up for venues as diverse as theatres, live entertainment venues, places of worship, bars & clubs, council chambers and leisure parks. As a brand new service division, FIXIT removes the inconvenience of in-house repairs and the need to stock spare parts, and is aimed at AV and Audio Rental companies not wanting to take on the complexity of in-house repairs.

Over the past decade Orbital's in-house technical support team, headed jointly by Drew Mollison and Tim Sherratt, has provided a dedicated service across the theatre and entertainment industries and has built a reputation for solving the most challenging technical problems, literally understanding that the show must go on!

FIXIT's Drew Mollison commented: Tim and I are very excited about FIXIT. Each member of our team possess a can-do mentality and a unique skills set be it comms or digital FOH desks. Together we are a very strong team, and Tim's looking forward to offering our potential across a wide customer base. By supplying an optional maintenance contract to venues with their own installed equipment FIXIT covers a gap in the market where venues have insufficient resources to comprehensively maintain their ever more complex sound and communications equipment.

In addition FIXIT offers a comprehensive repair facility for all audio and communications equipment. The repair facility benefits from new technical workshops and a huge investment in the latest test equipment.
