or The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth
My name is Ria and I am a tech idiot.
Sure, I use Twitter, have a multi-apped ‘phone and my car is fitted with one o’ them there Satnag things but I always feel like I don’t entirely get it. Don’t get me wrong, I am not scared by modern technology, far from it. If anything, I LOVE the technological advances made since I was the modern pioneer in my class with my own CD player. I liked Rick Astley before it was cool, so of course I am all about the cool; I want the cool stuff. I want to watch George Clarke in HD, I want to stream music – wirelessly – to every room in my house, I want to watch Breaking Bad in my bath without fear of electrocuting myself or dropping my Generic Tablet in the water.
Fellow tech Luddites, help is at hand in the form of our Smart Home service. The team recently celebrated one year of carrying out their fantastic Smart Home service, where one of our experienced team comes to your home to find out exactly what you want. We’ll discuss exactly what you want from your home entertainment, look at the layout of the house to establish what would work best, discuss budgets and then come back with recommendations. Ashley Shorey-Mills, one of our area managers, heads up the team. We lured him off the road with some biscuits, a brew and asked him to explain more.
“There are lots of people out there who are confused about what is available, not sure exactly what they want or simply do not have the time to find out.
We offer good old-fashioned customer service where we visit the customer at home at a time convenient to them, and come back and see them to discuss our recommendations and it also gives the opportunity for us to demonstrate that equipment.
People really do like this kind of service and it is for everyone, whatever their budget. We helped a retired couple with a new wall-mounted TV, DVD and soundbar which gave them much more space in their living room. Another customer was a lady who was renovating a cottage from a shell and we worked with her to ensure all rooms were wired up, with cabling hidden and the property ‘future proofed’ when it came to technology.
The service is free to the customer, with no obligation to buy. Hughes Smart Home now has three full-time employees and vans in its own livery and will soon have its own dedicated website, with other marketing initiatives to follow.
While we were optimistic there would be a demand we knew there were no guarantees for its success. We have been delighted with how the new concept has gone over the last year and are looking forward to the future with confidence. Over the next 12 months we plan to double the turnover which will inevitably mean us taking on extra staff.”
I’m guessing my ‘phone call will be anytime soon, right Ashley? Ashley? Ummm…
If you don’t fancy me wiring up your home with some Rick Astley but like the idea of a great home entertainment system then give the professionals a call today for a no obligation chat.
