INNOVATIVE CLASSROOMS, CONNECTED THINKING

Sovcomm, a well-established commercial contractor specialising in partitions, ceilings, and fit-out projects, traditionally operated in sectors such as pharmacy, defence, and general construction. However, the growing demand for integrated AV solutions in education presented a new opportunity. By partnering with Lindy, Sovereign Commercial successfully expanded into the AV sector, delivering advanced remote learning environments for educational institutions.
