Harris, Grant Associates (HGA), the leading acoustical consultancy, has recently moved its UK headquarters from Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire to larger premises in Guildford, Surrey. This move, which necessitated the complete refurbishment of the 18th century headquarters, enables the company to expand in new directions as current and future projects demand. HGA now has three principals: Neil Grant (managing director), Carolyn Hayter (finance director) and Sheen Uchida (who runs the Tokyo office). In addition, the design group has expanded to include Gavin Sargent, an architect who has worked with the company for 15 years.

Since the company was established in 1984, HGA has been involved with the design of many of the world’s most successful TV, film and recording studios. The company has also diversified into areas such as home theatre/cinema projects varying enormously in size, content and complexity, as well as the superyacht industry where it continues to be responsible for a succession of state-of-the-art installations aboard new-build and refitted yachts. Current major projects on land and at sea include the acoustic and technical design of an art, music and film facility in Central London; the largest and most sophisticated video and audio post-production facilities in northern Europe for Valkieser; and three superyacht acoustic and design projects.
