Integrator Universal AV has upgraded five training rooms at Simply Learning’s facility in Jarrow, UK, replacing outdated projectors with Sony professional LED displays. The North England training provider, which specialises in construction, engineering, utilities and manufacturing, needed clearer, more reliable visuals to support its practical, hands-on teaching approach.
Universal AV said it had assessed the existing space and recommended a modern display solution that integrates with the provider’s preferred methods, which rely heavily on dry-erase boards.
The upgrade included 75in and 65in Sony LED displays, chosen for their clarity and simple HDMI connectivity, allowing tutors to operate the technology with minimal disruption. Universal AV says the installation provides a more consistent visual experience than the previous projector-based setup.
Claire Irving, managing director at Simply Learning, said: “Our collaboration with Universal AV has truly elevated the training experience at our Jarrow site. They took the time to understand our needs and delivered a simple, effective AV upgrade that complements our practical teaching style. The result is clearer visuals, smoother delivery, and a more engaging environment for learners. We’re proud of the partnership and excited for what’s ahead.”
Mark Atkinson, branch manager, Universal AV, added: “Sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time, and you can make a real difference. This was one of those moments. Simply Learning is doing fantastic work, and it was a pleasure to help enhance the experience for both tutors and trainees.”
