SPOR Group Announces Steph Kenny's Promotion to Managing Director
Steph Kenny's promotion to managing director at SPOR Group, as covered by AV Magazine, Inavate and News in the Channel, ahead of the next phase of growth.
SPOR Group | Updated 2026
SPOR Group has announced Steph Kenny's promotion to managing director, and the news has been covered by AV Magazine, Inavate and News in the Channel. Steph will lead the day-to-day management of the business as it prepares for its next phase of growth, following the company's recent acquisition of interior design consultancy Squaredot.
What Steph Kenny's Promotion to Managing Director Means
Steph was previously director of finance and operations at SPOR Group. As managing director, she now oversees delivery, operations, service, finance and people, and leads the day-to-day running of the business. Co-founder Chris Spence, who is chief commercial officer, will focus on strategy and new business. The change comes as the company prepares for its next phase of growth.
A Long Journey With SPOR
Steph first joined SPOR in 2020 and was the company's first hire, and has been part of the business through a period of significant change, as SPOR has added monitoring and design to its AV work. You can read how that shift came about in our story on why we rebuilt our revenue model and acquired an interior design company.
In Steph's Words
In the announcement, Steph said she was "incredibly proud to become Managing Director". She thanked co-founders Chris Spence and Chris Gore for their support, said SPOR is in a strong position and said she plans to build on that foundation, expand into new regions and keep delivering the service clients expect.
What Comes Next for SPOR
As reported by Inavate, Steph's priorities include strengthening SPOR's teams, expanding beyond London with growth across the UK, including Liverpool, Manchester and the wider North West, growing the sales team in 2027 and pursuing opportunities in new sectors. The aim is to bring the same level of service to more clients in more places.
What It Means for SPOR Clients
For clients, Steph's remit includes service and delivery. Inavate reports that SPOR supports more than 1,500 meeting rooms, with clients including the NFL, Accord Healthcare and Monzo. The design capability that came with Squaredot sits alongside it. If your organisation runs several offices, our guide to managing AV across multiple office sites shows what good support looks like. It also helps to understand why an AV company and an interior design consultancy fit together.
Why the Timing Matters
The promotion follows SPOR's acquisition of Squaredot, which Inavate says extends the company's offering to organisations across the UK and Europe. A wider offering needs clear day-to-day leadership, and Steph's remit across delivery, service, finance and people covers the areas that matter most as a business scales.
