The annual awards seek to recognise members of the Control4 EMEA community for innovative product installations in the residential and commercial space, record-breaking sales volume, and excellence in installation and client support.
“Our International Dealer-Distributor Awards continue to recognise Control4 dealers and distributors that demonstrate superior achievement in customer service, support and sales alongside rigorous business accomplishments,” commented Bryce Judd, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Control4.
He added: “All of our dealers deserve distinction for their commitment to excellence and we are extremely proud of the hard work they have done.”
This year Control4 issued ‘Dealer’ and ‘Distributor of the Year’ Awards based on sales regions, with several winners in each area. For distribution, Leaf Audio and MBF Distribution T/A ADI both accepted the honours in their respective regions.
