This year Active Communications are celebrating 21 years of providing high quality computer and network cabling services.

The Coventry based company works closely with its customers to provide them with economical, reliable and customised solutions that can dramatically increase efficiency and productivity.

Active Communications was formed in 1989 by business partners Peter Jacobs and Martin Gardner and has since developed a strong customer base, providing services to small/medium enterprises and large multinational companies.

The installations that Active Communications carries out all have varying requirements and demonstrate the company's flexibility and ability to provide a top class service whether working within an office environment while minimising the disruption to routine, or on a building site where installation must dovetail to the schedules of other contractors.

Over the last six years Active Communications have increased its potential market opportunities by providing IP (internet protocol) based equipment that will operate on an existing data cabling network. To name but a few, this includes IP CCTV, door access & proximity control and telephone systems that compliments their existing services of wireless and data cabling services.

We are now in a position to be able to provide a customer with a complete solution from one local source. The integration of the IP CCTV and door access control systems into our catalogue of services has proved a great success and is growing at such a rate it is sometimes difficult to keep up with the latest technology explains Peter Jacobs.

Active Communications pride themselves on providing an excellent quality of service with its engineers achieving many certifications and accreditations for all the areas of work that we provide and as a company in 2007 achieved the Accredit UK quality mark for data cabling design and installation as well as being members of many trade associations including UKITA (UK Information Technology Association).

Due to the current economic climate, as with many companies, this year has been difficult. We are still alive and kicking and have managed to do this with the support of our existing customers who still use us because of the service we have given them over the years. Some customers have been with us for over 15 years so we must be doing something right. Now I'm just looking forward to our next milestone of 25 years when I can turn around and say "did we really achieve all that?" said Pete Jacobs.
