June 1st, 2011 No comments

The first 5 months of 2011 have been action packed for Digital View with formalization of the signage division under Bob Michaels, numerous trade shows in the USA and around Europe as well as many new products, most significant of which is a whole line-up of great new monitors from 10″ through to 46″ that will be featured at Infocomm in a couple of weeks. On top that we have been involved in many great display and media projects in transport, leisure, retail and government.

The DV marketing team based in UK are hard at work preparing a major change to the website to reflect the two main Digital View operating divisions, namely signage and display system solutions. This is very much a marketing activity intended to make navigation easier for visitors to our website, there are no structural changes and we remain a closely integrated group.
