About DAV

Founder & Engineer

Jamie started DAV in 2008 and has been in the trade for over 22 years.

He’s still very much hands-on and loves getting stuck into a job. From aerial installs in the early days to large CCTV, WiFi and commercial systems now, Jamie has built DAV through hard work, genuine interest in the trade, and a lot of real-world experience.

He loves black coffee, especially a good Italian blend, but is equally happy with a proper herbal tea. Outside of work, Jamie enjoys travelling in the campervan with his wife and DJing at clubs and festivals around the country.

Jamie loves problem-solving. Give him a mess of cables to wire, a tricky network to sort, or a big CCTV system to configure and he’ll be a happy man.

Engineer

Paul is one of those people who can turn his hand to just about anything.

At 6’5”, there’s not a lot he can’t reach, and not much he can’t fix either. He’s calm, experienced, and a proper perfectionist — the sort of bloke who’ll happily stare into a spirit level until your TV bracket is absolutely spot on.

Paul loves black coffee or a good malt whisky. He’s got a wife and four kids, so coming to work can sometimes be the quiet part of his day.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family and taking things apart just to see how they work. That curiosity and patience shows in the way he approaches jobs — methodical, tidy, and done right.

Engineer

Jack is the newest member of the DAV team and has settled in really well.

He’s methodical, keen to learn, tidy in the way he works, and great with customers. He takes pride in doing things properly and has quickly become a solid part of the team.

Outside of work, Jack is big into training and jiu-jitsu, and he’s also a serious eater. Big lunches, big takeaways, plenty of food — Jack’s always interested if there’s something decent to eat involved.

He brings good energy to the team and is building his knowledge the right way, with care, effort and attention to detail.

Office Manager

Jen is the voice on the end of the phone and the person who keeps the office and shop running in ship shape.

She loves decaf tea or a bottle of fizz, but not the cheap stuff.

Jen enjoys spending time with family and loves throwing a good BBQ or party at home. She’s incredibly organised and the sort of person who, if left alone long enough, would probably have your whole house sorted into alphabetical order.

If you need to know what’s happening with an ongoing job, what’s coming up, or who’s where, Jen is usually the person to ask. She keeps everything moving behind the scenes and plays a massive part in keeping DAV running smoothly.

Director / Office

Jo works in the office part time and is married to the boss.

She’s completely besotted with the family dog and spends her spare time either out in the great outdoors or in the gym. When she’s not in the office, you’ll usually find her out and about teaching people to drive.

Jo helps keep a tight ship in the office and is brilliant at keeping things on track. She’s also got a real talent for reading Ronnie better than anyone else — she always seems to know exactly when he wants a tummy rub.

Head of Security

Ronnie is the DAV miniature dachshund and takes his role very seriously.

You’ll usually find him in the office with Jamie on a Monday, either curled up in his bed snoring or keeping a close eye on what’s going on. He loves belly rubs, likes to keep people in check, and has a habit of hopping onto customers’ knees if they sit still long enough.

He may be small, but he definitely thinks he’s in charge.
