What’s the key to
digital accessibility?
In an increasingly connected world, these days it’s not just early adopters that are embracing digital security. Who else is getting in on the act? Steve Bohling reports.
SETTING THE SCENE,
Bryce Carter, National
Sales Manager at Allegion,
says the year has “started with
another hiss and a roar” and that residential consents continue to “tell a really strong picture for the next couple of years”.
“So we’re still very much in a buoyant market,” says
Bryce, for now at least: “Interestingly enough, will that be sustainable forever? Who knows? But right now, the signs in the market are still particularly positive.”
Ronnie Pocock, ASSA ABLOY’s Marketing Manager, agrees that the retail hardware market is “really positive” at present, adding the caveat that “a push towards cheaper products seems to be taking precedence over quality in the general window channel.”
