Service quality depends on local knowledge, accountability and responsiveness. It also requires technological innovation, advanced manufacturing procedures, efficient distribution and an unremitting focus on total quality.
On 1st July, Thorn became a Voltimum manufacturing partner joining almost 20 of the UK's leading companies whose technical information and news is hosted on www.voltimum.co.uk. Users of the Voltimum site, of which there are now over 30,000 in the UK, will not only benefit from a greatly enlarged lighting offering on the site but will also start to receive important information from Thorn via Voltimum's electronic newsletters which are circulated monthly.
Angus Shield, UK Marketing Manager of Thorn commented: "We're extremely pleased with Thorn's new association with Voltimum, a well respected portal with excellent information and news services. We view this as a teaming of two businesses that are well respected in their fields. Customers, particularly contractors, will benefit from the combined information that our companies will together produce and distribute."
Margaret Fitzsimons, MD of Voltimum UK said, "This is a major step forward for Voltimum UK. The addition of Thorn's extensive range to our product catalogue and Thorn's contributions in terms of technical expertise are invaluable. With Thorn, OSRAM and Philips I can really say we will be the TOP website for information on lighting and lighting systems in the UK - if you will excuse the pun!"
Users of www.voltimum.co.uk will start to see news from Thorn on the site from July 2005 onwards and Voltimum and Thorn are working together to add
the extensive Thorn product catalogue to Voltimum's product catalogue. Users will be kept informed of progress.
