“It is great to celebrate this important stage in Milestone’s development in the UK by moving into brand new offices at Green Park in Reading on the M4 ‘Silicon Corridor’. It marks the beginning of a significantly increased investment in supporting our partners in the UK and Ireland doing more business with us,” says Chris Whitting, General Manager, UK & Ireland, Milestone Systems. “Partners are welcome to use our state-of-art demo facilities to help train their people in our technologies and demonstrate solutions to prospective customers.”

Milestone VP EMEA Thomas Lausten and Chris Whitting talked about the VMS market leader’s strategy for accelerating growth in the region. Milestone is increasing its support for key distribution partners, and creating initiatives to accelerate more growth for the partner ecosystem in this region.

Milestone also reported strong interest for its Milestone Husky Series of pre-configured NVRs launched just a year ago. The Milestone Husky M10 is proving ideal for entry-level surveillance, whilst the Milestone Husky M30 is designed for meeting more comprehensive surveillance needs. The Milestone Husky M50 is proving well suited for firms looking for a more powerful all-in-one solution with access to more channels and storage.
