New strength of service added to AVPartners

The new arrangement will see AVPartners taking an equity position in AV Whitsundays, with Mr Delangen also having an equity position in AVPartners.

Commenting on the deal, Mr Delangen stated that he was delighted to be joining forces with the AVPartners group, as the new partnership’s aspirations and ethos were completely in sync with his own. “I see an enormous benefit of our companies coming together for today’s hospitality market. In our fast-paced and expanding world, hoteliers and their customers want a focused, personalised service, as well as the flexibility to cater to their individual needs. A ‘one size fits all’ approach doesn’t always allow that, whereas the partnership of our companies gives us strength and flexibility to provide so much more.”

AVPartners managing director Gary Hackett shares the enthusiasm, commenting, “I am delighted that Phill has decided to join with AVPartners. Phill has become somewhat of an icon in the audiovisual industry, for when it comes to service standards, Phill sets a very high bar. Our resources and Phill’s commitment to high standards is going to see a brilliant partnership in force.”
