AV Awards 2026 finalist card for Dynamo LED Displays Limited and the Auto Trader Manchester HQ project

Dynamo named AV Awards 2026 finalist for Auto Trader Manchester HQ

Dynamo LED Displays Limited has been named an AV Awards 2026 finalist in Corporate Project of the Year for the Auto Trader Manchester HQ project.

The Manchester headquarters brings five LED zones together as one workplace display system. Its centrepiece is a 21.76-metre ribbon made from flexible P1.86 mm LED tiles, engineered to curve across two planes. The wider installation includes a 17.92-metre suspended halo ticker carrying live platform data, a contoured LED plinth around the car turntable, and two 2.5-metre fine-pitch walls. One of the walls supports an interactive experience developed by Pixel Artworks.

Dynamo supplied, installed and commissioned the LED hardware across all five zones. Pre-fabricating the mounting frames and resolving the control requirements before delivery kept the work on site to under two weeks, despite the compound geometry and live-data integration.
