WELCOME 03
Editor’s comment W
hat’s this? Yes, Installation has a new look – but more than that, we’ve revisited just about every part of the magazine to make it more relevant to you. First, the pages are slightly smaller: this makes the magazine
more portable, and also requires less zooming in and out by digital edition readers. We’ve also gone for a livelier, more modern design

– more, we hope, like the magazines you see on a newsstand. And with our news coverage having migrated to our website, we now begin the magazine with Update – a more visual, less wordy take on recent events. Incidentally, speaking of news, we are launching a daily newsletter this month – watch your inbox for more information.
‘We’ve revisited just about every part of the magazine to make it more relevant to you’
There’s an expanded opinion section, which gives a mixture of installation guidance, a peek into future technologies and viewpoints from industry personalities. (If you would like to contribute a piece under any of these headings, please let me know.) We’ve also grown the data section, and moved our country surveys here. These are now slanted more to the challenges that integrators face in each country, and the changes they are making to how they run their businesses. We’ve changed the approach in our features section too: from here on in we’ll be running
more features with a focus on the business opportunities for integrators in a given market sector or technology area. Also, this month I’m excited about our voice alarm feature, based around an Installation survey; this highlights the very real confusion over EN54 parts 16 and 24 and calls into question whether these are even fit for purpose – which, remember, is to save lives in the event of a fire. Finally, our solutions articles continue to cover major installation projects in depth. This month we cover GlaxoSmithKline’s Shopper Science Lab, an InstallAward-winning facility that uses AV technology to understand shopper behaviour to a mind-boggling level of detail – and a project to which I was given access from a very early stage. We’ve put a lot of work into our new look. Please let me know what you think – what you like, what you don’t like, and any other areas you’d like us to explore.
