Houston, Texas – Sept. 3, 2025 – CCS Presentation Systems (CCS), a leading provider of collaboration and communication solutions, specializing in audiovisual (AV) and unified communications (UC) today announced a strategic leadership transition designed to build on the company’s strong foundation and accelerate growth nationwide.
Following the sale of CCS Southwest and the retirement of Founder John Godbout, the CCS Presentation Systems headquarters is moving to Houston, Texas and will be led by the new owners of the CCS brand, Ben and Elizabeth Pickrel.
“We plan to build on the incredible legacy built by John and Beth Godbout over the last 34 years” says Ben Pickrel. “The CCS Partner model is unique in the AV industry, and it provides our customers with the best of both worlds, local ownership with the experience and expertise of a national integration firm.”
“It’s been an incredible journey building CCS side-by-side with the CCS Partners over the past three decades,” said John Godbout. “We started this company with a vision of delivering exceptional AV solutions while giving our partners every tool they need to succeed. Ben has been part of the CCS family for over 25 years and knows this business inside and out, and I have absolute confidence the CCS Partners will continue to grow, innovate, and lead our industry for decades to come.”
The CCS structure includes 9 partners and spans across the nation with 20 locations in 18 states with 250+ employees focused on designing, deploying, and managing digital workplace solutions and technologies.
