Len Wallis presented with industry accolade

Len Wallis achieves highest industry honour

Len Wallis, owner and Managing Director of Lane Cove’s Len Wallis Audio, has recently been inducted to the CEDIA fellows program.

The prestigious award is given by CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) to long-time members and volunteers who have made a substantial contribution to the association’s success. The award recognises and acknowledges the contribution to the industry that Len and his company have made.

The fellowship award is an especially high honour for Len, as he is the first Australian and only one of a small group outside of the US to receive this. On the night of the award, recently hosted on the USS Midway in San Diego, California, Len commented that his company and staff benefited greatly from the association with CEDIA.

“CEDIA has a global reputation for excellence and in concert with CEDIA Australia, has helped raise the skill level and quality of work undertaken by Australian audio-video professionals.”

As one of CEDIA’s inaugural Australian members, Len was a founding member of the association’s presence in Australia in 1995. He went on to serve on the board for many years, twice as CEDIA Australia’s chairman. He has also volunteered his services as a presenter at many CEDIA expos.

Len has a distinguished career in Australia’s audio industry, whilst simultaneously earning an enviable reputation internationally for the quality and originality of his company’s custom installation, home automation and integration systems.

Len Wallis Audio custom installations have been designed for consumers in many overseas countries and feature regularly in global magazines for their excellence and aesthetics.

Len has spent his working life in audio, starting as a salesperson for MS Sound in 1970. He opened Len Wallis Audio (LWA) in 1978 as a one-man show, and now as Managing Director, is still very much involved in all aspects of the company.
