Vista, the UK’s premier brand of CCTV equipment, has opened a sales and technical support office close to Paris, France.

The French operation will be headed by the brand’s newly appointed dedicated French Country Manager, Mr Partick Finas, who brings with him a wealth of senior management experience within the country’s security industry.

 "The opening of an office in France is a strategically important decision and underpins Vista’s commitment to the country," comments Dermot Grace, Commercial Director of Upperpoint Distribution.  "The move also reflects the increasing commercial opportunities presented by France’s growing infrastructure and Vista’s ability to effectively capitalize upon them.  Clearly customers will benefit from local sales and technical support, particularly for product demonstrations and specification advice," concludes Mr Grace.

"This is a very exciting development," adds Mr Finas.  "By raising the profile of the brand actually from within France, we will encourage the adoption of Vista by a growing number of end users who will be supplied by our existing network of French distributors. " He goes on to say, "Vista is building an enviable reputation for security innovation and I’m greatly looking forward to the challenges this venture brings with it."
