The beginning...
CEAV was founded by professionals who, after years of working within other organisations, became increasingly disillusioned with industry practices. They observed that customer support was often lacking, and product recommendations were frequently influenced more by profit margins than by what was genuinely best for the client. Dealing with dissatisfied customers became routine, and it was clear that a better approach was needed.
Motivated by these experiences, they established CEAV with a clear mission: to prioritise the needs of the customer above all else. We take the time to listen, understand your requirements, and recommend the most suitable solutions—balancing performance, features, and budget. We are completely independent and not tied to any specific brands, which means our recommendations are always impartial and in your best interest.
This commitment to integrity and service excellence is reflected in our track record—over 90% of our work comes from repeat clients or referrals. At CEAV, we don’t just deliver solutions; we build lasting relationships based on trust and results.
