AV8 Distribution Launches In The UK AV Market

Sign up for our weekly newsletter - https://linkly.link/2gPF0A new name has landed in the UK specialist AV distribution world, and it comes with a clear point of view: most projects win or lose at the specification stage. We break down the launch of AV8 Distribution, led by industry veteran Barry Sheldrick, and why his return to a support-led model is designed to help integrators deliver better high-performance residential AV and home cinema outcomes.We talk through Sheldrick’s background across Tag McLaren Audio, IAG, Pulse, and Meridian, including his time building and leading the Distributed by Meridian operation. That history matters because the AV8 proposition feels familiar in the best way: hands-on technical knowledge, close relationships, and a focus on ensuring the system design matches the project's real demands before anything is ordered.From specification support and technical sales assistance to installation, commissioning, and after-sales care, AV8 is positioning itself as the ‘support in between’ that can stop projects being underspecified and protect the client experience. We also explore the decision to work with a more focused set of manufacturers, aiming for deeper expertise, stronger brand engagement, and support throughout the full life cycle of an integrated technology project.If you care about UK AV industry news, residential AV distribution, and what genuinely improves project delivery, you will want to hear this.
