A hybrid meeting only works when the people on the screen can see who’s talking. At Accord Healthcare’s Stockley Park office, they couldn’t. Remote colleagues saw one static wide shot of the boardroom, with no way to tell who was speaking. Here’s how we changed that.

Workplace technology is now business-critical, but most organisations still have limited insight into how it performs day to day. Closing that gap means replacing manual checks with connected, digital workflows that flag issues before they reach the people using the room. That shared focus is what brings SPOR Group and pivot together. At SPOR, we support more than 1,500 meeting rooms across the UK, Europe and Asia, with a focus on long-term technology performance beyond insta

Hybrid and remote working has been declared over, rescued and declared over again so many times that many leaders have stopped paying attention. Our co-founder Chris Gore took on the question in a feature for theHRDIRECTOR, and this article sets out his argument and what it means for the way you run your workplace. It builds on themes we first covered in hybrid syndrome and why hybrid working has not delivered on its promise.

Most AV companies start the same way. Someone with a background in installation begins fitting screens and speakers into meeting rooms, invoicing project by project, and hoping the next job lands before the bank balance runs dry. SPOR Group started that way too. This is the story of how a recurring revenue model changed that, and why the same thinking eventually led us to acquire an interior design business.

A couple of weeks ago we announced that we had acquired Squaredot, a workplace interior design consultancy, and we sat down with Kris Krokosz, Squaredot's managing director, to talk through it properly on camera. It felt like the right way to introduce him to anyone who has not come across Squaredot yet, and to get into some of the detail behind why this partnership actually works, rather than just the headline.

Thank you to Simon Quicke and Microscope for covering our acquisition of Squaredot this week, and for making the point we would have made ourselves: Squaredot is a familiar name across the channel, with customers spread across both the public and private sectors, SCC among them. That reputation is exactly what drew us to the business.

Inavate covered our acquisition of Squaredot this week, and got straight to the point better than most: it is one team now, across workplace design, audiovisual environments and technology strategy. Thank you for that, and thank you to everyone in the AV industry who sent a message our way since.

I have been to a lot of networking events since starting SPOR Group. Most of them are a bit naff. You end up in a room with people who are not quite at the level you need them to be at to have a conversation that actually moves anything forward. Name badges. Warm drinks. Five people trying to sell you something within thirty seconds of meeting you.

Business Sale wrote up our acquisition of Squaredot this week, and we wanted to say a proper thank you for it. As an AV company based in Maidenhead, we do not often see our name next to a deal write-up like that one, so it was a nice surprise, and we are grateful to everyone who has been in touch since it went live.

Thank you, Insider Media, for recognising the story and giving it a home in your pages. We have spent years building SPOR into a business that takes workplace technology seriously, so seeing that work reflected back in the trade press, at a moment like this one, is not something we take lightly. It is a good feeling to have a milestone like this one marked by people outside the business, not just celebrated internally around the office in Maidenhead.

A big thank you to Interior Designer Magazine for its coverage of our acquisition of Squaredot this week. As an AV company based in Maidenhead, it means a great deal to have a title that lives and breathes design take the time to explain why we think this deal matters, and to everyone who has sent good wishes since, thank you too.

We want to say a proper thank you to Installation International, and to journalist David Smith, for the write-up on our acquisition of Squaredot. You can read the original piece here. As an AV company based in Maidenhead, we do not get featured in the trade press every week, so having a story like this one picked up and given proper space is something we genuinely appreciate.

AV Magazine covered our acquisition of Squaredot this week, and framed it well: the deal strengthens what we can offer as an AV company based in Maidenhead, expands our reach across Europe, and gives Squaredot the resources to support its next phase of development. We could not have summarised our own reasoning better.

Chris Gore grew up on a council estate in Liverpool. Oldest of four boys. Father was an alcoholic who left when Chris was twelve. No GCSEs. No job prospects. At sixteen he looked at the path he was on and decided to join the army. They put him through some tests and discovered he had more brain than he had been given the opportunity to use. He spent thirteen years in the military. Then he left, moved to London, and founded SPOR Group.

We've recently been announced as finalists for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, I'm speaking at Ideasfest, and my business partner Chris Spence and I were named in the Founders 250 alongside people like Ben Francis from Gym Shark. None of that is me having a brag. It's just meant a lot of people have started asking the same question. What is the story with SPOR? So I wanted to sit down and actually answer it properly, rather than in bits and pieces.

SPOR Group has joined the PointGrab partner network, adding occupancy sensor technology to the workplace systems we design and manage for clients across the UK and globally. The PointGrab CogniPoint occupancy sensor is a software-agnostic, edge-AI device that gives organisations accurate, real-time data on how their spaces are actually being used, not how they assume they are being used. That data changes decisions. It changes how rooms are managed. And combined with the meet
