Expanding its operation outside of its metro Atlanta base, GHT has announced the acquisition of Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.-based Audio Video Excellence.

GHT states it acquired the Florida integrator back in January, and the acquisition enables the company to grow its client base by servicing homeowners along Florida’s Northwest Emerald coast.

 “We’re very excited about the opportunity to integrate the Florida location of Audio Video Excellence into the GHT Group family,” comments Kenny Ellis, president of GHT Group.

“They’ve built a great team, stellar reputation, and excellent processes for delivering complete solutions to customers. It’s a perfect fit to enable GHT Group to bring the full set of services we offer to the Northwest Florida market.”

According to GHT, Eric Huffmaster, previously of Audio Video Excellence, will head up the newly acquired Florida location’s operations.

The newly expanded integration company reiterates that while it is not new to the state of Florida, its acquisition of Audio Video Excellence enables it to service the Florida market with a local flavor, providing everything from motorized shades and lighting, to outdoor entertainment systems.
