“Veale Associates understood the University’s ambitions from day one, whilst appreciating the constraints on cost and time. They brought a wealth of industry and higher education experience to the project. The concept was to deliver not only first class education facilities from the visual perspective, but studios fully equipped to deliver the key learning objectives whilst achieving the acoustic and technical criteria necessary for studios of this type. We couldn’t have done this without the professional and creative input from Veale’s leading people Eddie, Eloise and Richard. The outcome is visually stunning, well equipped functional facilities that fully meet the project brief delivered to quality, time and cost.”
Professor Joy Carter, Vice Chancellor, University of Winchester
“Veale Associates helped us create a truly extraordinary working environment. Our audio design rooms – of which there are 10+, are super creative spaces in which to work. They helped us achieve the perfect compromise of very low ambient noise and reflection levels while retaining generous natural light with exterior aspect. These are the perfect day to day rooms to work in. Our two 7.1 mix rooms are excellent professionally designed and calibrated reference spaces. They allow us to mix our games with the highest accuracy. Customisable colour ambient lighting allows us to set the appropriate mood for a mix session and the space feels very comfortable to be in for long sessions. Both our foley and vocal recording and control rooms are well appointed and beautifully quiet spaces to record in. Overall we are absolutely delighted with the job Veale Associates did for us!”
Jim Croft, Head of Audio, Frontier Developments
“Our aim for the new Piccadilly/Key 103 studios at Castle Quay was to make it fit the image of what you’d expect the biggest station outside London to look like. Eddie Veale and his team met that brief 1000%!! In the first month alone, over 3,000 people have toured the station – it was that much of a talking point in Manchester and within the Radio Industry.”
“The sheer size of the project is probably unprecedented in that Castle Quay is also now the HQ of EMAP Radio. As well as two radio stations, this has had considerable IT ramifications and I am grateful to Eddie in that not a second of broadcast time was lost in the changeover.”
Dave Lincoln, Managing Director, Piccadilly Radio
The live room itself was designed by world famous Eddie Veale and his daughter Eloise. The acoustics are stunning and the addition of the booth facilitates many interesting combinations of live recording and tracking.

“In creating what many consider to be some of the nicest studios in London out of an empty office floor, Eddie Veale and his team have a project to be proud of. To have achieved this in four weeks is nothing short of remarkable. Many other companies thought our timing (and budgets) were unrealistic – Veale Associates proved otherwise.”
David Campbell, Chief Executive, Virgin Radio
“Veale Associates were the natural choice to oversee our studio and office construction. Their expertise in negotiating leases and contracts, combined with their independence, attention to detail and ability to understand client needs, was invaluable. The project, as always, was delivered on time with the minimum of fuss.”
Michael Betton, Managing Director, Lincs FM
“We were impressed with the competence of the team.”
