Jukebox manufacturer Sound Leisure signed a significant order with UK operator Essex Leisure at the recent Park Avenue Open Day in London.

The order for 50 VenueHub jukeboxes means that it is now the company’s best-selling production model.

Since Sound Leisure introduced the Generation 2 software platform at EAG International, simplifying the user interface and introducing a Twitter and Flickr feed, a number of large orders have been placed, including a second tranche of 100 units for Sceptre Leisure last month.

“Since updating our existing Vhub’s with Gen 2 software and witnessing first hand the lift it has given the cash box, we felt that it was now the time to re-invest in our jukebox estate,” said Steve Hawkins, managing director of Essex Leisure. “Our operation is predominantly Sound Leisure focused, so we already know that the support from Sound Leisure is excellent and this played a big part in us going down the SL route again.”

Sound Leisure’s Chris Black said the company has worked alongside the Essex team for many years and the company is “delighted” with the order.
