Paul Barker, Sales Director at Smeg UK gives us his thoughts “Smeg is a tactile, visual brand meaning excellent displays are vital for us.

One of our latest SmegZone’s is housed in Built-in Kitchen Appliances in Anfield, and an influential member of the Sirius Buying Group. It houses 80 of Smeg’s bestselling appliances from its built-in products, range cookers and refrigerators within a prominent 100 square metre location in-store. We’re delighted with the finished result and committed to continuing to work with Built-in Anfield and the Sirius Buying Group to develop commercial opportunities to maximise the display investment.”
