BANG AND OLUFSEN PARTNER WITH SMART HOMEWORKS TO BE NUMBER ONE 'SMART HOME' INSTALLERS

NuCONNECT, the largest Bang & Olufsen retail group in the UK & Ireland, with six stores in Knightsbridge, Harrods, Marylebone High St, Selfridges, Windsor and Dublin, has selected Bournemouth-based technology company Smart Homeworks as its exclusive installation partner for the UK.

NuCONNECT already delivers industry leading AV solutions and services but with significant growth plans across the retail sector and in order to establish itself as the number one connected home expert, it has formed a strategic partnership with Smart Homeworks, in place from October 2018.

The Smart Home market is expected to be worth over $50 billion USD by 2023. As the Internet of Things revolutionises the way we go about our daily lives, the demand is enormous for technology-focused businesses who are able to harness emerging technologies to deliver real world benefits such as security, convenience, energy efficiency and entertainment.

The two businesses share exceptional customer care and value-through-innovation as core principles. By combining the iconic and globally recognisable Bang & Olufsen portfolio available from its showrooms and with Smart Homework’s ability to create secure and performance-focused infrastructure, automation and control solutions, NuCONNECT and Smart Homeworks can expect to lead the charge in delivering connected home technologies in the UK and Ireland.

Smart Homeworks Director Andy Baldwin says:
Smart Homeworks is contacted from the NuCONNECT store to carry out an installation. The Smart Homeworks team either collect from the store or the products arrive on site on the day of installation. Smart Homeworks unbox the kit and NuCONNECT remove the boxes. Products are then installed, tested and a handover carried out with Smart Homeworks’ contact detail left with the client for ongoing queries.

For October, the launch month, Smart Homeworks is working with two stores on board, with two days a week installation for two teams and estimate 10 man days per week by the end of the month. If the kit is in stock, it can be delivered and installed as soon as a free day is there for engineers, with the aim within seven days of ordering.

He added: “The industry has been crying out for IT focused technology partners who are adept at seamless integration of intelligent services, taking the complexity away from the consumer and delivering genuine real-life benefits, effortlessly and reliably. This is exactly what the Bang and Olufsen and Smart Homeworks partnership provides UK consumers.”

Recently, Bang and Olufsen, who ‘celebrate originality’ in their latest marketing campaigns, launched the new BEOSOUND SHAPE, with Smart Homeworks installing it for them at Decorex International - a wall-mounted wireless speaker system for design conscious music lovers – delivering immersive sound staging, a customizable design and integrated noise dampers.
