13 May 2026 · Press Release
Solstice AV has announced a new distribution partnership with Newline Interactive, bringing the manufacturer’s interactive display portfolio to UK resellers ahead of the busy summer education refresh period.
The partnership will see Solstice AV distribute Newline’s interactive displays and software solutions across the UK reseller channel, with a particular focus on education, where schools and trusts continue to invest in classroom technology that supports collaboration, flexibility and hybrid learning.
Newline’s portfolio includes Google EDLA-certified interactive displays designed for education and corporate environments, combining multi-touch collaboration, wireless content sharing and cross-platform compatibility with a simple, user-friendly experience for teachers and students.
The education interactive display market continues to grow as schools invest in classroom modernisation, collaborative learning technologies and cloud-based teaching platforms such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Across the UK, schools are continuing to transition away from ageing projector-based classrooms toward more flexible interactive display environments that support modern teaching methods and hybrid learning.
For Solstice AV, the partnership strengthens an already growing education technology proposition while giving resellers access to a highly competitive interactive display range supported by Solstice’s expanding operational and technical capability.
“Newline is a business we’ve been watching closely for some time, so we’re delighted to be bringing the brand into the Solstice portfolio.
There’s a really strong alignment between our businesses in terms of ambition, mindset and approach to the market. They’ve built an impressive global operation, with products now used by more than 10 million users across over 50 countries, and that kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from having good people, good leadership and products that genuinely work in real-world environments.
From a reseller perspective, the timing is also excellent. We’re heading into the busiest period of the year for education technology projects, with schools and trusts preparing for summer refresh programmes and looking closely at how they modernise classrooms for September.
For Solstice, this partnership is another important step in the growth of our education offering. We’re continuing to invest heavily in the business, expanding our sales team, growing our technical capability and strengthening the operational infrastructure behind it all so our reseller partners can move quickly and deliver with confidence.”
Michael Tulip
Managing Director, Solstice AV
We’re excited to be partnering with Solstice AV at an important stage in our UK growth strategy.
What stood out to us was the combination of reseller relationships, operational capability and ambition within the Solstice business. They understand the education market, they’re investing heavily in growth, and they have the infrastructure to support partners properly as projects scale.
The timing is particularly important as schools prepare for summer technology refresh projects ahead of the new academic year. We see a significant opportunity for resellers to support schools with collaborative technologies that are simple to use, easy to manage and designed around modern classroom environments.”
Gary Beckett
Country Manager UK & Ireland, Newline Interactive
The partnership also reflects Solstice AV’s wider growth strategy as the business continues to invest heavily in sales, technical support and deployment capability.
In recent weeks, the company has expanded its sales team with new appointments and confirmed active recruitment across multiple areas of the business to support increasing demand across education, LED and collaboration technologies.
The Newline range is available immediately through Solstice AV.
