A Story Worth Telling
The beginning...
Our founders once worked for other companies and grew frustrated at how they did things. Their customer support was not good and sometimes product selection was driven by profit margins rather than what was most suitable for the client. On top of this, dealing with dissatisfied customers was a regular occurrence. Seeing this, they knew they could do better, so they left and formed CEAV.
Due to these experiences, we always listen to our customers and specify the best solution, considering budget and requested features. We're not tied to any specific brands and would never select a particular product due to profit margins or to meet supplier targets. We genuinely always do the best for our customers, which explains why 90% of our work is repeat work from existing customers or referrals from someone we've worked for in the past.
