The company has expanded its services to include door access systems, security cameras, VoIP telephony solutions, and comprehensive conference room solutions for virtual meetings, and continues to provide cabling.

Active Communications has recently moved to larger premises at Systems House, Broad Lane, Coventry, to accommodate its growing team and equipment. To support this expansion, the company has also appointed Kevin Goss as Head of Business Development.

It is also actively recruiting additional engineers to support its ongoing growth as it looks to meet demand across the West Midlands.

In addition to celebrating 35 years in business, the company is also marking 25 years as a member of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce.

Neil Littlewood, Membership & Sales Account Manager at the Chamber, visited the company’s new headquarters to see how the move was progressing.

He said: “Reaching 35 years in business is a fantastic achievement, and we’re proud to have supported Active Communications for 25 of those years. It’s great to see their move to new premises go smoothly, and we’re excited to see the company continue to grow."

Active Communications co-founder Pete Jacobs said: “It’s remarkable to think it’s been 35 years since Martin and I set up this business. We had run a company together before, sold it, and in 1989 saw the opportunity to start something new. Back then, most of our work came from IT providers upgrading hardware for businesses, and we handled the cabling.

“We’ve evolved significantly as technology has advanced. Today, as well as offering door access systems, security cameras, VoIP telephony solutions, and comprehensive conference room solutions for virtual meetings, we still provide reliable cabling solutions. We’ve also worked on satellite connectivity through Elon Musk’s Starlink network, offering a dependable alternative to traditional cable-based connections.

"Our clients span various sectors, including education and healthcare. Joining the Chamber has been instrumental in building our reputation within the local community. It’s not about immediate results, but about developing long-term relationships so that when people need our services, they think of us.

“We remain enthusiastic about growth and are looking for more engineers to meet the rising demand. We’re fortunate to have a dedicated team, many of whom have been with us for over a decade. Now, we’re seeking skilled professionals to help us take the next steps in our expansion.”
