Armour Home announces today that Ashley Hutchinson will be leaving the business with immediate effect to pursue new career opportunities.  We would like to thank Ashley for everything he has contributed to Armour Home over the last 10 years and we wish him well for the future in his new career.

Ashley’s responsibilities will be absorbed within the existing management structure within our Custom Install (‘CI’) division. This team boasts more than 100 years experience in the UK CI industry and has been responsible for a number of the key events and innovations that have shaped today’s UK market.  The team has recently been strengthened through the recruitment of Chris Janes, who brings to Armour a wealth of experience, from both the product and installer sides of the CI business.

Bob Abraham, the founding father of the Systemline brand, ably supported by its product manager Paul Hilditch, will take responsibility for the all aspects of the Systemline brand, together with Chris Emerson, Armour Home’s sales director, who has day to day responsibility for the field sales team.

In terms of new products, 2012 has already been a busy year for Armour Home’s CI division with the highly successful launches of Systemline Airway, Soundscene by Imagine Acoustics and the Q Install range of in-ceiling speakers.  We will be building further on this programme of new product launches at the forthcoming Essential Install Live show in June with the first public demonstrations of a number of new products scheduled to come to market over the coming months.
