Distech Controls joins BCIA

Distech Controls has joined the Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) to strengthen its position within the UK controls market.

Formed in 2004, the Building Controls Industry Association represents the interests of a wide range of businesses in the building controls industry. With its specialised programme of training, education and marketing, the BCIA upholds high standards of performance for organisations and individuals.

“We are delighted to now be part of such a well-recognised industry body,” said Chris Irwin, business development manager for Northern and Eastern Europe at Distech Controls. “The importance of building control systems is now being recognised and the BCIA does great work in training and educating people in and out of the industry. We have been growing and developing the Distech Controls business in the UK and across Europe and this is further proof of our commitment and on-going presence within the controls market.”

Karen Fletcher, executive officer of the BCIA, added: "The Association aims to raise awareness of building controls as central to energy efficient and productive buildings. A growing membership means that we represent an increasing proportion of the UK controls sector, and we are very happy to welcome Distech Controls to the BCIA."
