Sennheiser has announced that it is the official audio partner of Music at Work Week (MAWW), taking place between 25 No- vember and 1 December, which celebrates the benefits of lis- tening to music in the work- place on employee well-being and productivity. Work-related stress and anxiety have a signif- icant impact on productivity. It costs the UK economy billions of pounds each year, with over 15 million workdays lost in the UK annually due to work-load related health problems. Music at Work Week has been created by Dr. Julia Jones (aka Doctor Rock), who has been prescribing music for personal health and business health for over 20 years. Sennheiser is passionate about its commit- ment to audio and is support- ing MAWW’s mission to trans- form workplace well-being for employees through music in the UK, and beyond.


Saville Group, one of the UK’s leading specialist audio visu- al communication companies has reported a 25% increase in sales, with the financials show- ing an increase from £35 million to £43.5 million for 2018. This significant expansion comes hot on the tail of a major brand transformation in 2018. Following two previous years of record financial performance, this major landmark on the com- pany’s timeline revealed a new look for the parent Saville Group brand, and the creation of two fresh new, highly focussed spe- cialist operating brands, Sparq and Visavvi, leaders in the live event and AV systems sectors respectively. A key driving force in these impressive growth figures, is the performance of new brand Visav- vi, the Group’s audio-visual inte- gration, installation and services operation. Successfully deliver- ing multiple global installation projects for a diverse range of FTSE 100 companies, Visavvi have built an enviable reputa- tion for delivering ingenious, business collaboration solutions on a worldwide scale. Working to continue the expansion of global sales, Visavvi continues to build an international network of specialist technical partners to ensure the consistent delivery of installation projects that meet the company’s demanding stan- dards.


Studies have shown that music plays a key role in pos- itively impacting mental and physical health. A recent WHO report highlights that music has great potential to improve global health, but it is not yet being properly recognised or harnessed. Listening to music daily helps both the brain and body, as it can enable listeners to enter into a “flow state”, or a place of deep concentration, which can drive productivity. This is a huge opportunity for businesses that are looking for new ways to support em- ployee wellness and increase efficiency. Tom Martin, Retail Sales Director UK, Ireland and Nordics at Sennheiser reports that: “An optimal environment is needed to encourage ‘flow state’, which can drive produc- tivity. Part of this is avoiding distractions that stop us from reaching this state, such as conversations
