Midwich’s Technical Summer Showcase means JOAN hit the UK

On Tuesday 18th July, the JOAN team headed to the UK to attend Midwich’s Summer Technical Showcase. Midwich is the UK’s leading trade-only distributor of AV and document solutions and were recently announced as JOAN’s distributor in the UK and Ireland.

The technical showcase was a great opportunity to rub shoulders with vendors and partners as our JOAN team talked tech throughout the day, got hands on with some award-winning products (JOAN included) and indulged in some mouthwatering BBQ grub!

Naina Tailor, Midwich General Sales Manager for Technical Sales, commented on JOAN’s unique market position:

“Time and time again the partners and resellers in our distribution network confirmed the need for affordable, simple-to-install and easy-to-use room booking. Until JOAN, they searched far and wide for something to fill that gap in the market.”

The Midwich’s Technical Summer Showcase in Crowthorne brings together highlights from their world leading vendors and allows Midwich customers the opportunity to mingle and get hands on with new and award-winning products and technologies.

Collaboration nation

We had a very productive meeting with CDW UK. Terry Goodwin, their Solution Architect for Collaboration, found his match in JOAN, which was designed to take collaboration to another level by optimizing meeting room usage and making the workplace, the meeting room in particular, more enjoyable, and less of a burden on the environment.

“We love seeing new, disruptive products, which solve real problems for people and help preserve the environment. JOAN’s environmental friendliness is just another indicator of how truly disruptive it is.”

JOAN has proven especially suitable for creatives, who work in dynamic, spontaneous sprints, brainstorming sessions and walk-in syncs in huddle rooms, focus booths and hybrid workspaces. Booking a room is a matter of taps, clicks or words typed in Slack.

Naina Tailor, Midwich Sales Manager for Technical, commented on this:

“There is currently 30–50 million huddle spaces worldwide, all able to benefit from room management solutions. The products that we’re selling from JOAN are your stepping stone into collaboration, they’re extremely user friendly and perfect for non-technical users.”

We promise to keep it interesting and a little jazzy.
