Daniel Broch Founder of the Bliss Investment Group

“Bliss is all about creating an experience to delight and surprise. We want our guest’s experience to be different but equally memorable each and every time they visit. To deliver this, every aspect of their sensory experience needs to blend together and that’s why we appointed CGA Integration to ensure that the sound systems they designed and installed delivered the emotional impact we demanded.”

Sara Kim SVP Brand Development LDV hospitality NYC

“The sound across both Sette and Nolita Social Lounge is amazing, it really helps to immerse guests into two very distinct experiences. The easy to use control panels also enable our staff to control the levels of music in different areas, helping to create different atmospheres in these distinct venues at the same time.”

Julien Davain Restaurant Manager at Wild Honey St James

“Working with CGA has given us a great return on investment. The sound system they designed and installed for The Balcon eight years ago has been easily adapted to create superior sound throughout Wild Honey St James. It was greatly beneficial making that initial investment with CGA.”

Mr Alberto Zandi co-owner of Zuaya
“With our first opening in the UK, it was very important that we could work with trusted suppliers who could make the process as smooth as possible. CGA Integration was recommended by our designers Harp Interiors and have proved to be a wise choice; delivering superior audio within the tight timescales posed by a new restaurant opening.”

Mr Soliman Khaddour General Manager at Hans’ Bar & Grill
“CGA Integration were the obvious choice to install the sound in Hans’ Bar & Grill, as we had worked with them before and had been very pleased with the results. We now have a fully integrated sound system from the lobby through to the new bar and restaurant, which is easy to operate and helps to create the right atmosphere for our guests.”

Sound is a critical part of ensuring that our customers are fully immersed in the Dishoom experience; complementing the deep love we have for Bombay’s culture, heritage and food. We have been delighted with the audio systems designed and installed by CGA Integration in Dishoom Carnaby and Dishoom King’s Cross so they were the natural choice for us when opening inEdinburgh and they didn’t disappoint.”

Justin Hardy, Jamie Oliver Restaurants
“The sound system that CGA have designed for Barbecoa Piccadilly really enables us to create an atmosphere that enhances the Barbecoa experience. The restaurant concept is full of drama, celebrating “the magic of smoke and fire”, so being able to produce the right ambience through great quality sound is important. We were challenged by acoustics on two very different floors - our stunning dining room in the basement and an intimate, more clubby environment on the ground floor where our bar stands proud. We also need the mood to evolve throughout the day, from breakfast, through to lunch, afternoon tea and into dinner. It’s important to get every element right and we’re fortunate that we have a great sound system to help us showcase a fantastic dining experience in a classically beautiful building. We are delighted that CGA and Music Concierge have worked together and with our team to achieve this so successfully at Barbecoa Piccadilly.”

Brian Trollip, Director of Operations and Business Development at Dishoom

Ian Cohen, St Marys Chalgrove
“The vicar, the Reverend Canon Ian Cohen said: "The glory of Chalgrove Church is that it is a country church, which has always sought to serve this village and neighbourhood. In the future, with the installation of this new sound system by CGA Integration, its heritage can be shared and valued so much more widely. The system is easy to use and very flexible. It enhances the worship for all members of our congregations and the experience of others who use the church, such as our local primary school and village groups.”

The AV systems CGA Integration have installed have enabled us to deliver this capability to all our guests.”

Systems Control & Management

Successful venues have efficient and effective systems control and management.

Current technology allows AV systems to be monitored remotely or across the network to identify any maintenance issues and deal with them before they become a problem. It is also possible to switch off guest room appliances centrally in unoccupied rooms and monitor usage to improve services. This ensures; reduced running costs, reduced carbon footprint and an enhanced guest experience.

The use of AV technology to enhance Back of House is also growing; installation of sound systems and digital signage to ensure that staff arrive and leave work in a pleasant environment and are kept up to speed with staff news to keep them motivated and ‘living the Brand’.

At CGA Integration we work with our clients to ensure that their AV is ‘working for them’ and technology is implemented to improve the Back of House environment for their staff.
