ClearVC has acquired VideoCentric, combining two UK players in audio-visual and unified communications.

ClearVC, based in Manchester, provides video conferencing, workplace technology and AV systems, while Reading-headquartered VideoCentric focuses on AV integration, equipment hire and support.

The deal expands the Manchester-based firm’s footprint in the South of England and adds a new showroom in Edinburgh, which will act as a Scottish base for demonstrations and training.
