Audio / Visual installers - recommendations?

[Disaster]

Going to deck our hall out this summer with some fancy stage lighting, stage, and audio.
So can anyone recommend a co. for this in Birmingham or close-ish area?

Cheers

Active Visuals in Telford (Audio Systems | Interactive whiteboards | Audio Visual Hire), Tim Pepper is our guy there, they've done a lot of work for us recently, and I've always been impressed. Really friendly and helpful, even when he knows there isn't an immediate sale in it for him.

Andrew Hadleigh @ Audio Visual Technology | Audio Visual Design - Hadleigh Technical Support

He has prepared a quote to supply a lot of gear for our Science block, not ordered yet from him, but a close friend did, hence me speaking to him

We've used Active before and they've always been the best on price - although you have to be very precise with them - they put some audio points at some very odd points in the class room.
Will look at the others too.
Cheers guys!!!!

When the network cabling was done in part of this school (long before I started, I should point out), the installers hadn't been told where to put the points. Unsure whether we wanted them at the front of the room or the back, the decided to "compromise" and put all the points in the middle of the classroom wall. This means that every PC has a stupidly long fly lead trailing from it, and the socket is right by a pupil desk so the cable is frequently unplugged.
