Vitavox Tactical communication devices

Tactical Rugged Military Communication Systems

Vitavox was established in 1930 by Leonard Young, an electrician specialising in wireless, who served in the Navy as a volunteer. During his time at sea, he realised the importance of on-board internal communications and on return to dry land he set about creating and producing products that would meet the operational requirements of the maritime environment.

Serving the Defence Sector, Vitavox, manufacture and supply loudspeakers, headsets, microphones and intercom systems for international land and naval platforms. Our commitment to creating the highest specification audio equipment has kept Vitavox at the forefront of tactical communications, working and developing in partnership with, and supplying the primes and the MOD across various projects.

Compliant with stringent defence standards, Vitavox’s products are robust, effective and dependable, ensuring a long operational life.

Vitavox Team

Behind The Scene

  • I’m responsible for Vitavox’s performance. I feel privileged to lead a business with such a wealth of knowledge, with many of our team serving for over 25 years, helping Vitavox to be the very best it can be and adding value to customers worldwide. If I’m not at Vitavox, I’m normally enjoying the company of my family, planning activities outdoors or trying to convince my wife that my latest hobby (whatever it is) is not a fad.

    Managing Director

    David Palmer

  • I am your first point of contact for all your Vitavox enquiries. From processing orders and assisting with customer requests to ensuring projects are managed and kept on track, no two days are ever the same. At weekends I enjoy taking my Chocolate Labrador on long walks in the country.

    Business Development

    Terry Dove MBE

  • After 23 years in the army and numerous free sunshine and sand holidays, I bring the end user experience to further advance Vitavox's military based products. I help develop the business by understanding the military market and where we can inform the requirement.  Out of work you’ll normally find me carefully pressing rare butterflies or counting my copper jar.

    David Rae

  • Finance at Vitavox is more than bean counting! We are involved in all aspects of business; from product design, despatch, debt collections and payments. I’m a “foodie” so to balance the calories, I go for long walks and do Iyengar Yoga and Tai Chi.

    Financial Controller

    Rashmi Dattani

  • I lead the team responsible for producing equipment for all sectors of Secomak and Vitavox. I manage the factory layout, machinery, operational processes and procedures. I am also responsible for health & safety and quality. It’s often challenging but very rewarding when problems are solved, and products are shipped on time. Outside of work, we love to travel, enjoy a live band and spending time with our young granddaughter.

    Operations Manager

    Andrew Rennie

  • I look after a wide range of engineering projects for Secomak and Vitavox, creating new and improving our existing products through design and development, risk assessment and safety.

    Engineering Manager

    Luke Maher

  • I lead the buying team across Secomak and Vitavox. Building and maintaining a healthy supplier base ensures we source the best quality parts for our products. No challenge is too great! In my spare time, if I’m not swinging from an aerial hoop, I’m practising martial arts.

    Procurement Manager

    Joanne McGregor

  • As Director for over 30 years and owner for 12 years, I have helped shape how Vitavox innovates and strives to give exceptional service to our customers. Really understanding and helping our customers is what makes us excel. I am proud of what my staff have achieved and excited for where we are heading. I’m still a gym nut during the week and hit the slopes skiing every year.
