Comelit now has a
new London base
available to installers
Comelit In the Capital
Comelit UK has announced the successful launch of its new central
London offices in Queen Elizabeth Street, near Tower Bridge. The
newly refurbished facility, which recently hosted more than 100
guests at a busy mid-week opening event in early November, also
includes an innovative state-of-the-art ‘experience space’ designed to
showcase Comelit’s video door entry panels and monitors, HD CCTV
surveillance solutions, access control and home automation systems.
Among the attendees at the launch event were security installers,
consultants, architects and property developers, who all came to
celebrate the opening of Comelit’s new facilities and to see the
company’s equipment in action. Inside the converted Victorian
warehouse building, a detailed, full-scale recreation of a modern
apartment has been built and fully kitted out to demonstrate how
easily Comelit’s products and systems can be installed and operated.
Serving as a blueprint for system design, the experience space also
helps illustrate how the company’s end-to-end product portfolio can
be integrated and controlled on one device.
“We are thrilled to have opened our second location in the UK,”
said Francesca Boeris, managing director of Comelit. “We were
particularly delighted with the high turnout on the day as it shows
just how useful this kind of hands-on demonstration is, both for
installers and end-users. We’ve put a lot of effort and hard work into
this project. It demonstrates our commitment and investment in the
UK market and is the result of continued strong growth during 2016.”
Francesca added: “The demonstrations we’re now able to offer
will help existing and potential clients to use and test our products in
configurations they hadn’t previously thought possible. In addition to
the experience space, there are two meeting areas where the whole
buying chain is free to use the new facilities. Installers, consultants,
end-users and specifiers all are welcome.”
Comelit’s new experience space is now officially open and
bookings for demonstrations can be made by contacting Comelit
staff to make an appointment. There are also breakout areas for
seminars and meetings, which can be booked in advance.
