Groupe Novelty has completed the acquisition of Delta Live, a UK-based company specialised in audio, production and event delivery.
Founded in 1988 and affiliated with the L-Acoustics Group since 2019, Delta Live has built a strong reputation as a customer-first, highly skilled partner delivering complex corporate events, venue productions and live experiences across the UK. As part of Groupe Novelty, Delta Live will operate under the brand Delta Live by Novelty, preserving its identity, leadership and client relationships while gaining access to the Group’s international expertise, resources and network.
This integration will enable Delta Live to further strengthen its technical offering across Groupe Novelty’s work in audio, lighting, video, rigging and power distribution, allowing the company to support larger, more ambitious and increasingly international projects.
‘From our first conversations, we were impressed by Delta Live’s customer-first mindset, high technical standards, and people-centric leadership’ says Groupe Novelty founder/President and CEO, Jacques de La Guillonnière. ‘Delta Live is a natural fit to support Groupe Novelty’s growth in the UK, alongside Novelty UK. We are also pleased to continue our longstanding and trusted partnership with L-Acoustics as we support Delta Live’s long-term development.’
‘Groupe Novelty brings deep expertise in premium technical event production and maintains strong relationships across Europe and the UK, making an ideal home for Delta Live’s talented team and prestigious client portfolio,’ says L-Acoustics Group CEO, Hervé Guillaume. ‘We’re confident this move positions Delta Live for long-term success in an environment fully aligned with their core strengths. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with both Delta Live and Groupe Novelty.’
‘Delta Live has always been built around long-term client relationships, technical excellence, and a strong culture that puts people first,’ adds Delta Live MD, David Hanson. ‘With these shared values, joining Groupe Novelty is a natural next step in our growth journey. Being part of the L-Acoustics success story has been a privilege, and this partnership allows us to preserve what makes Delta Live special while gaining access to broader technical expertise, international scale, and long-term investment that will directly benefit our clients and our team. We’re excited about what this means for our future in the UK and beyond.’
Delta Live’s clients will benefit from full continuity of service, working with the same teams and contacts, while gaining access to increased technical capacity, multidisciplinary expertise and Groupe Novelty’s international reach.
