2017 Business Excellence Awards

48 Acquisition International - Business Excellence Awards 2017 Soundproofing Materials Supplier of the Year & Award for Excellence in Domestic Soundproofing Products 2017 - UK iKoustic iKoustic Soundproofing started life at a party to celebrate the New Year in 2009, when Founder and Director Rick Parsons heard neighbours banging on the walls asking the hosts to keep the noise down. Rick then realised that there must be a market for domestic soundproofing products, and after some market research and product development, iKoustic began. As the housing market shifts and people choose to live in ever closer proximity to each other, in urban apartments for example, the need for soundproofing products is currently greater than ever. In addition, the portability of media technology, which is increasingly loud, has only enhanced the need for domestic sound insulation. As well as an ever-expanding product range, iKoustic also offer design advice, installation and sound testing services. The company sources new and innovative products from across the globe, the very best products, wherever they can be found. Alternatively, iKoustic specify and produce their own ranges if they feel that the prerequisite quality is not available. It is this single minded focus on Quality and Customer Service that drives a high level of repeat business. iKoustic use an independent 3rd party service provider to poll their customers and they delight in some very complimentary feedback regarding the performance of their products and the quality of their front line team. For these reasons, architects, specifiers and installers insist on iKoustic’s innovative product range. iKoustic are a leading UK supplier of Soundproofing solutions.
