SPOR Group named Integrator of the Year at the AV Awards 2026
Recognised by the AV industry for meeting rooms and workplaces that work, first time, every time. SPOR Group
On Friday 6 November, at Evolution London, SPOR Group was named Integrator of the Year at the AV Awards 2026.
When we started SPOR in 2019, our vision was to set a different standard for workplace technology. We haven't got everything right along the way, but we've learned from every mistake and kept improving. To be recognised by our industry as the best is something the whole team is really proud of.
What the award recognises
It recognises the work our team has delivered for clients this year, and everything we've built to get here: meeting rooms and workplaces designed, delivered and supported to work first time, every time. Today we support more than 1,500 meeting rooms for over 200 enterprise clients across the UK, Europe and Asia.
Doing things differently
From the start, we've tried to do things differently.
We look after what we install. We don't just install the technology, we look after it for as long as our clients use it, monitoring the rooms we support through our own platform, SPORTrack, so problems are spotted and fixed before a meeting is affected.
We made pricing transparent. Our AV pricing estimator lets you see what a project will cost before you speak to anyone.
We brought design and technology together. This year Squaredot, a workplace design consultancy, joined SPOR Group, so AV is part of workplace design from day one rather than added once the walls are up.
We bring new talent into AV. We look for people with the right attitude and skills that transfer, wherever they've come from, and help them build a career in the industry.
A recent example is Accord Healthcare's Oak Conference Room at Stockley Park, where a six-camera system now switches automatically to whoever is speaking, with one-touch privacy controls at the table, all working with the room's existing Crestron and Shure systems.
"From day one, we wanted meeting rooms that actually work, and to stay accountable long after handover. Being named Integrator of the Year tells us we're getting there. It's been hard work, and it's down to a team that never settles for good enough." Chris Gore, Group Strategic Director and Co-Founder, SPOR Group
The people behind it
None of this happens without an exceptional team: driven, curious and always pushing for better. Thank you to every one of them, to clients like Deloitte, Monzo, the NFL, PGIM and Accord Healthcare who trust us with their workplaces, and to our technology partners, whose support helps us make every room work.
"I joined SPOR as its first hire in 2020, so seeing the team named Integrator of the Year means a huge amount. This award is down to every engineer, project manager and service desk colleague who goes the extra mile for our clients. As we grow, our focus stays the same: rooms that work on day one, and keep working long after." Steph Kenny, Managing Director, SPOR Group
The night was a double celebration for Chris Gore, who was also a finalist for AV Professional of the Year. Later this month, he's a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Congratulations to all the other winners and finalists, and thank you to AV Magazine for a brilliant evening
