The facility will be officially opened on March 1, 2012 and is designed as a space where dealers can demonstrate Crestron technology to their customers.

Phil Breitschadel, sales manager at Crestron UK, said: "The Design and Experience Centre has moved to a prime location, making it more accessible for clients and easier for them to meet with their customers.

"We have opened this site to provide an experience which aims to help customers understand the technology and how it is integral to what they do. It will present dealers with a fantastic opportunity to bring together the different design disciplines in an interesting and innovative environment."

Crestron says the Leeds location, near to the key UK motorway the M1, will allow it to provide a better service to dealers in the north of the UK.

The centre will also be used to host CPD events, training and courses.
