The Saville Group founded in 1876 originally traded as a chemist in Goodrumgate. Now based in Neither Poppleton, they have evolved into a multi-million turnover business specialising in audio-visual technology under the brand Visavvi.

Managing Director Andy Dyson said “this is an incredibly exciting and positive step forward for the company and I, alongside my fellow directors, look forward to continued success powered by our new, strengthened business proposition.”

They will now trade under the SCC AVS banner which has more than doubled in size since 2020
