About the Company

We are Vivedia, the UK’s market leader in audio-visual services for ‘once-in-a-lifetime events’ (weddings, funerals, citizenship ceremonies). We don’t simply follow the market; we’re innovators and disruptors. Your work will have a positive impact on thousands of people daily and millions of people each year. We have a head office in Sheffield and a satellite office in London, but our customers are spread across the UK.

We’re not fans of all that corporate jargon you might hear from other businesses. We’re down-to-earth, human, and passionate about putting our customers first (all companies say that, but we do it).

Our friendly team of 170 are our most important customers. We care about having a positive, friendly, and engaging workplace, which is the key to delivering great customer service. People love working here, and we have the independent survey results to prove it - we’re officially one of the ‘Best Companies’ in the UK to work for! It might be because of the flexibility we offer regarding how and where we work, the genuinely fun and supportive environment we’ve built in our dog-friendly offices or the great service we deliver that gives them all such a buzz. We want you to bring your buzz to us too.

This is a business that is doing well, but it goes beyond that; it’s about making sure things go right, first time, every time. This passion is driven from the top down by James, our MD (who hates titles and is simply ‘James’) and the leadership team who ensure that brilliant customer service is at the heart of everything we do. When you meet us, you’ll see what we mean. It’s important that we are the right fit for each other, so we’ll share as much as you want to know about us while we get to know you, too.
