Senior Management

New Wave was founded in Sevenoaks in 2003 by Kevin Whysall after working in the commercial audio-visual sector since 1993. Angus Murray joined as our Project Director in 2010 from a retail electronics company. With over 50 years of combined management experience, New Wave has become one of the leading designers and installers of home automation, home cinema and lighting control companies in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and London.

Team

Our talented team of over 15 employees has some of the industry’s best training and experience. This investment of time and effort means we remain at the forefront of new home technologies. We are committed to delivering quality service at every stage of the project cycle, from the first consultation to the design stages, site installation, and post-completion support.

Kent & Surrey Showroom’s

In 2010, we relocated just outside Tonbridge to headquarters, which allowed us to offer customers and trade professionals a full demonstration of the technology we integrate into our projects. Our meeting space also allows us to consult with clients, architects, interior designers and construction companies, and we often give educational CPD courses to these professional partners.

Tonbridge Experience Centre – In September 2022, we opened our new 4,500 sqft facility consisting of offices, rack build and showrooms. We have two home cinema rooms (one dedicated to Dolby Atmos cinema), complete lighting control, smart home functionality with Lutron and Control4, and security from our Kent security partner, FSL Fire & Security.  This is the first Control Certified Experience in the UK.

Surrey Showroom – In 2024, we acquired Smart Homes based in Surrey. Along with the staff joining our team, we also took on the showroom of 1,000 sqft based in Windlesham.  This is home to a dedicated home cinema, media room and extensive smart home system, along with security from our Surrey security partner KBO Fire & Security.

Trade Professionals

At New Wave AV, we do not just work exclusively with end clients, but also work alongside architects, interior designers and developers as part of the design and integration process. Whether this is for a residential end client or a commercial development, we would never take your referral for granted.

You can entrust your client to us, and our goal will be to exceed their smart home technology and audio visual expectations. That’s why professionals from across the southeast have consistently recommended New Wave AV to their customers for home cinemas, multi-room and whole-home systems, since 2003.

About our smart home experts

We had the pleasure of meeting with Sue Fisher from Fisher ID at our Experience Centre. Here is what she had to say.

When AV first became an integral part of my job, it was alarming and I had no idea what was going on. It has been demystified by working with people like Angus at New Wave. When I bring clients here, their expectations are massively exceeded when they see the full extent of home automation that you can only understand if you come to an experience centre.

The earlier I start working with an AV specialist, the earlier I can think about integrating all of the kit I need to integrate to provide the client with the optimum solutions. Currently, working with technology is a given in all our projects, and I think that the appointment now of an AV specialist is just as necessary as the appointment of an interior designer.

 

New Wave undertook the AV works at our new build residential scheme located in Orpington. They were on hand throughout the construction phase and in terms of timings, cost and quality exceeded expectations.
