Special Mention for Impact
Crestron UK hosted its second annual Integration Awards where, for the first time, a special mention was awarded to Impact for its work at the South East Essex College.
The judges felt that Impact’s work on the South East Essex College was an example of a highly innovative solution in an education environment. Students at the Student Skills Kitchen and professional Ora Kitchen are able to access practical lessons on cookery and hospitality techniques, thanks to an advanced recording system controlled by a Crestron system.
Julian Phillips said: ‘We constantly aim to provide innovative solutions for our customers. In Higher Education, we are helping universities to deliver new methods of teaching
and learning by using a range of interactive technologies that offer more flexibility to the students.’
This year Crestron UK extended the awards to recognise projects from the commercial arena, having previously focused on residential projects. Over 60 entries were received from Crestron’s UK-based dealers, featuring projects from all over the EMEA region. Over 150 people gathered on July 16 at Crestron’s head quarters in Cobham for the awards.
In announcing the winners, Crestron UK Managing Director, Robin van Meeuwen said, ‘Crestron dealers are amongst the best in the industry, installing the most impressive integrated solutions in the world. These awards are a fantastic way of recognising their achievements and rewarding their hard work. We would like to thank everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules to enter. It was inspiring to see what is being done with our technology out in the field and the awesome projects that resulted.’
