Our team here at Hark took great pride in showcasing our product and our abilities by monitoring the beer fridge in the Bright Building. We monitored the temperature, humidity and energy usage of the beer fridge to ensure the beers were kept to the optimal temperature and conditions.
Throughout the event, attendees came to hear about Hark, among the crowd was Jake Berry, Government MP for Rossendale and Darwen and force behind the Northern Powerhouse. He expressed that we’ve come very far in our early career as a company, and could see an instant return of investment whilst employing our technology within a business.
