HARMAN announces CUK Group as CI Distributor for the ARCAM brand for the UK and Ireland

ARCAM has appointed CUK Group as its exclusive distributor for the Custom Install sector across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The appointment comes as ARCAM introduces brand-new AV models and a complete loudspeaker range to its award-winning Radia Series, creating new opportunities for integrators to deliver premium audio experiences. CUK, which also represents ARCAM’s sister brand JBL Synthesis – both brands are part of the HARMAN Luxury Audio group – brings proven expertise in high-performance residential AV to the partnership.

 

Founded in 2005 by Managing Director Stuart Thomson, CUK is recognised as one of the most successful AV distributors in the UK and Ireland. With a strong focus on integrator support, the company invests heavily in training, demonstrations, and technical assistance. Its purpose-built distribution centre in East Kilbride includes dedicated AV training suites and extensive stockholding.

As a flagship example of its commitment to training and integrator support, in July 2025, CUK opened its state-of-the-art training and demonstration centre in Ascot. The multi-million-pound facility showcases high-performance systems that incorporate JBL Synthesis alongside other premium components, in both multi-functional media rooms and dedicated home cinemas. By combining immersive demonstrations with hands-on sessions, the Ascot centre highlights CUK’s dedication to delivering tailored, high-end home cinema experiences.

Stuart Thomson, Managing Director at CUK Group, stated: ‘We’re delighted to take our successful relationship with Harman Luxury Audio even further, and to be able to do this with ARCAM is a real privilege. In 1995, ARCAM released the first audiophile AV amplifier that combined ARCAM audio performance with class-leading surround sound capabilities. In 2023, ARCAM took its 2-channel offering to the next level with the introduction of Radia, which has quickly become a global success. Now in 2026, we couldn’t be taking over the CI / Residential distribution in the UK and Ireland at a more exciting time: on the day of our appointment, a completely new AV offering is launching, and a complete ARCAM loudspeaker line-up is being added to the Radia Series. The sales team have been in Cambridge for training, and stock is in our warehouse, so we are ready. This is a very exciting time for ARCAM and CUK Group.’

Scott Campbell, Director of Sales, HARMAN Luxury Audio, said: ‘We are delighted to entrust distribution of ARCAM’s products for the Custom Install sector to the CUK Group. We have developed a terrific working relationship with Stuart and his team, and we look forward to CUK putting its considerable expertise and industry reach behind one of the most exciting audio brands in the world today.’
