It's the European entry many have waited for: Savant Systems.
Once linked solely with high-end home automation based entirely on Apple's Mac operating systems, recently the company introduced their Smart Series products, connected home solution supporting safety, entertainment, comfort and lighting control, using the brand's technology to bring the Savant experience to a broader audience.
In conjunction with the advent of the Smart Series, RGB launches a new trading division, "Savant Systems Europe" to bring Savant into UK and European markets.
This new division will include a team with expertise in Savant's offerings and the AV industry as a whole. The team will be headed by Caroline Britt, the Managing Director at RGB. Caroline who has been central to RGB's growth in the last 14 years stated that, "This is a very exciting time for us and our new channel partners across Europe. We are relishing the opportunity and challenges facing us. Whilst our new partners across Europe will now have access to what we believe is the future of control whilst benefiting from the support and technical back up of a very experienced team."
Andy Atwell brings 20 years of industry experience to become the new European Sales Director and adds, "We want to offer the best possible sales and technical service to our dealers, with as strong focus on business development with Architects, contractors and M&E Consultants."
Additional services will include a technical training program in the UK along with showroom facilities in London, with a move to offer similar facilities and services throughout mainland Europe in the near future.
Neil Howes, with 10 years of home automation experience, will serve as UK Sales Director.
"Partnering with RGB gives us the perfect platform to expand into Europe and truly offer the kind of sales, technical and training support that our European dealers require to grow," says J.C. Murphy, Executive VP Sales at Savant Systems. "We are enthused by the possibilities that this partnership brings and believe that Savant Certified Integrators and, ultimately, users across Europe will see enormous benefits."
