Westminster-based Church House Conference Centre’s in-house audiovisual team has won In-House AV Team of the Year at this year’s Professional AV Awards.
Held 12 October at the London Hilton on Park Lane, the annual awards were attended by 700 industry professionals.
Church House’s award was collected by AV Manager Ian Locke and AV technician Jonathan Hills. It is the second time in three years that the venue has won the award, previously winning in 2010. The venue was also a finalist in 2011.
To keep ahead of client requirements, the venue has made significant investment in technology, equipment and people in the last 12 months. Its most recent upgrade was the installation of a 100 megabyte per second (mbps) broadband line.
“We’re delighted that our in-house AV team has been recognised for its first-class service,” says Church House Conference Centre GM, Robin Parker. “The team are the perfect example of how good practice, staff retention and investment in technology and infrastructure, as well as employee training and development, can provide clients with an exceptional AV experience and create a culture of AV excellence.”
