Tateside celebrates 15 years of innovation

Tateside, a pioneering provider of audio-visual and IT services, is marking fifteen years of operations. In 2008, amid the challenges of a global recession, Tateside emerged out of a conversation among the co-founders, Andy Sullivan, Graham Agambar and Richard Day, who were all previously employed by Astro Communications, based in Kent.

The trio recognised an opportunity to deliver fully managed services encompassing telecommunications, networks and audio-visual solutions. Their inaugural client, Time Inc. (formerly IPC Media), entrusted Tateside with a comprehensive service contract, marking the beginning of the young company’s success story.

Based at the Blue Fin Building, nestled behind the Tate Modern on Bankside, Time Inc.’s offices were the focal point of Tateside’s early operations. Under the direction of Sullivan, Agambar and Day, the team managed an extensive technology infrastructure, from data centres to meeting spaces and a 40-metre LED wall throughout the 3000+ employee-occupied building. This experience paved the way for Tateside’s expansion into the audio-visual market, capitalising on its expertise in IP-based networks.

“Following our work at Time Inc., we wanted to break away from servicing just one client and offer other services to new clients, therefore we needed to expand the team”, recalls Sullivan. “This was when Jack Cornish came on board as a Junior Technician. Today, Jack is our Technical Director.”

Over the years, and with the expansion of the team, Tateside experienced exponential growth, fuelled by long-standing relationships with clients such as Discovery Europe, Selfridges, Soho House Group, University of the Arts London, Mercedes F1 and WeWork. “Milestones in our journey so far include purchasing our Tower Hill headquarters, building a dedicated support team, working on several multi-national projects and forming our Managed Services and IT divisions”, says Sullivan.

The Tateside team now numbers 23 employees, with a total of eighteen in the AV department and five in the IT division.
