Technology group Avoira is set to mark its 50th anniversary in 2026, celebrating five decades of supporting organisations across the UK with mission-critical communications and IT solutions.

Founded in 1976 as Pennine Communications, the Bury-based business has evolved through organic growth and acquisitions into an integrated provider spanning AV, unified communications, managed IT, cyber security and AI-driven analytics.

Now employing around 150 people, it delivers end-to-end technology for public and private sector customers under its “One Avoira” model.

To mark the milestone, the company is also expanding its social value initiatives, including donating 50 Amazon Alexa devices to Age Concern to help tackle digital isolation.
