Axis Communicationsannounced the opening of a new headquarters for its Northern Europe team in the UK. This move follows a successful 2011 for the business as Axis announces its end of year figures of net sales of over $533 million and 33 percent growth in local currencies. With market research company, Key Note forecasting that the UK CCTV market will rise in value by 30.1 percent between 2012 and 2016 with significant growth from 2013 onwards, Axis' new headquarters in Watford, Hertfordshire is ideally located to support not only UK-based installers and users of IP-based surveillance but also those throughout the rest of the region and further afield. One of the main features of the new headquarters is a demonstration suite designed to showcase the Axis range of video solutions and offer demonstrations and product training in a classroom environment to Axis' partners and customers.
