Record sales confirm transformation success for audio and visual communications firm
York-headquartered Saville Group, a UK specialist in audio visual communication companies, has reported a 25% increase in sales, with its figures showing an increase from £35m to £43.5m for 2018.
This expansion comes hot on the heels of a major brand transformation for the business in 2018. Following two previous years of record financial performance, this change involved a new look for the parent Saville Group brand, and the creation of two fresh, highly focused specialist operating brands, Sparq and Visavvi, operating in the live event and AV systems sectors respectively.
Saville Group said a key driving force in its growth figures, is the performance of Visavvi, its audio-visual integration, installation and services operation.
Successfully delivering multiple global installation projects for a range of FTSE 100 companies, Visavvi have built a reputation for delivering business collaboration solutions on a worldwide scale.
It continues to build an international network of specialist technical partners to ensure the consistent delivery of installation projects that meet the company’s demanding standards.
Saville Group joint managing and sales director Andy Dyson said: “As many of our clients have evolved into multinational corporations we have had to adapt and change our processes and skillsets to ensure we can support their business communication needs.
“Our investment in people and technology has, as these accounts show, produced amazing results.”

He added that a buoyant live events sector coupled with the acquisition of key, high profile clients has seen the Group’s dynamic technical event production specialists Sparq also demonstrate a strong performance.
Its team has delivered an increasing number of high-end events for major brands. With a core team of in-house technical specialists and significant investment in new technology, Sparq provides a complete technical production service for events that range from intimate business briefings right through to large-scale arena experiences.
Joint managing and financial director, Colin Nixey, said: “The brand transformation was a challenging decision. It was a big change for us, our suppliers and our clients and involved a lot of internal structure changes.
“Being able to post these fantastic performance figures confirms it was exactly the right choice for us and is something we can continue to build on.”
