THE technical experts at Kidderminster's Maplin store are encouraging local customers to discover how they can make their home ‘smarter’ with some simple tech solutions.

To celebrate Maplin’s Ask Maplin brand campaign, Kidderminster’s ‘Maplineers’ - Maplin’s in-store technical experts – will be demonstrating how easy it is to remotely control lights, appliances, heating from anywhere with a tablet or smart phone, helping customers reduce their energy bills.

The Smart Home event will take place at the Crossley Retail Place store from Saturday to Monday, May 23 to 25.

Maplin unveiled a new brand campaign this May, showcasing the expertise, services and products that Maplin offers and highlighting the benefits of technology.
