Custom mounting systems from Unicol have enhanced video conferencing across telecoms company Liberty Global's offices.
The upgrade encompassed AV systems across Liberty Global's London and Leeds offices, featuring video conferencing capabilities integrated with Sharp screens, Logitech Rally range equipment, and Nureva speakers, all of which were installed using Unicol mounts.
Liberty Global is a converged video, broadband and communications company, with operations in six European countries under the consumer brands Virgin Media O2, VodafoneZiggo, and Telenet. The project, which ran from September 2024 to May 2025, was led by James Robinson, Director and Principal AV Consultant at AVenture Audio Visual, who served as a third-party specialist to oversee the design and implementation process.
Unicol, whose involvement centred on providing mounts that would significantly reduce Liberty Global's total cost of ownership and long-term maintenance expenses, deployed a range of products including Accession Behind-Screen Service Mounts, AdaptaWall Pop-Out Mounts, Universal Wall Mounts, Sound Bar Mounts, and VS1000 Comfort Monitor Trolleys.
"Instead of opting for standard TV brackets, we collaborated closely to source and design mounting solutions that allow a single engineer to service any issue, except for a broken screen,” explains Robinson. “Previously, servicing would have required multiple engineers to remove working screens to access faulty equipment."
One of the project's most notable achievements was addressing the unique challenge presented by the Leeds office's distinctive ‘doughnut’ shaped boardroom table. The hollow centre design prevented the installation of a traditional centre-of-table camera, requiring a creative engineering solution.
"Unicol designed a custom floor mounting solution that delivered an excellent video experience while preserving the architect's original furniture plan," Robinson added.
The mounting solutions were designed with adaptability in mind, ensuring Liberty Global's investment remains viable as technology evolves. The video bar brackets were specifically engineered to avoid penetrating expensive acoustic panelling, providing both immediate installation benefits and long-term flexibility.
