Tangible evidence of a job well done was presented to the company in the form of an ISO 9001: 2000 compliance certificate by LRQA management systems assessor Trevor Hodge.
He told Albion managing director Richard Osborn and his team that they had achieved a positive measure of business excellence, as opposed simply to complying with a rigid set of quality control procedures.

A stylish and comprehensive range of support systems and components for audio-visual equipment has been introduced by the Albion group, a leading UK manufacturer of display systems and related products.

This design offers enhanced flexibility for adjustment, without compromising safety and is suitable for ceiling, wall, floor or mobile applications, which utilise any brand of AV equipment.
The new range brings a breath of fresh air to a sector offering what was previously a very restricted customer choice.
System-AV is rigorously manufactured by Albion to ISO 9001: 2000 quality standards, using the latest precision CNC machining centres at the company1s Bedfordshire factory.
It is marketed through trade outlets and direct to retail, educational and commercial office users.
