WHY STRIVE AV
Why Manchester teams choose us for audio system
Manchester sits around 230 miles north of our East Grinstead base, roughly four hours by road via the M25 and M6 or a little over two hours by direct train from Euston into Manchester Piccadilly, which usually means engineers travel up for a working week rather than day trips during commissioning.

BUYER GUIDE
How to choose a audio system integrator in Manchester
Eight criteria most procurement and facilities leads use when shortlisting AV partners for audio system. Strive AV passes all eight.
Locally-based engineering presence
A Manchester-area engineer reaches site the same day. A supplier driving from a distant base does not.
Strive AV: Engineering team based in Manchester
Independent ISO certifications
ISO 27001 (info security), 9001 (quality) and 14001 (environmental) are the minimum bar for any regulated-sector buyer.
Strive AV: Certified to ISO 27001, 9001, 14001 and 45001
Public-sector framework supplier
Crown Commercial Service supplier status removes the procurement risk for public-sector buyers and works for many corporate buyers too.
Strive AV: Crown Commercial Service supplier
AVIXA member
AVIXA is the global trade body for AV integration. Membership signals adherence to standards procurement teams can verify independently.
Strive AV: AVIXA member since founding (1999)
Audio Systems specialism
Look for an integrator with documented audio system deployments at the scale you're commissioning, not generic AV experience repackaged.
Strive AV: Documented audio system case studies, certified hardware partner
Fixed-price quoting after a free survey
Anything else is a budget-creep risk. The site survey, design and fixed quote should be at no charge.
Strive AV: Free Manchester site survey, fixed-price proposal
Ongoing SLA-backed support
AV is a multi-year commitment. Confirm 24/7 helpdesk, remote monitoring and on-site response SLAs are in scope, not a separate vendor.
Strive AV: 24/7 manned helpdesk, on-site engineers
27 years of trading history
Founded 1999. Long-trading suppliers carry installation backlogs and warranty obligations honoured across that time, which short-trading suppliers cannot.
Strive AV: Founded 1999, East Grinstead
