Huawei opened the doors of its first physical retail store in the UK. The company called the region "an extremely important market" and believes it will "create more jobs" and "help support the UK economy."
The Chinese tech giant's new store will sell a wide range of merchandise, from flagship smartphones to an "extensive range" of wearables, headphones, tablets and PCs, according to Charged report. Huawei has been trading in the UK for over two decades now, according to company official figures, and the new store is just one of three stores the company plans to open in the coming months. The new store alone opens 15 new jobs for Westfield Stratford City and its residents.
It is noteworthy that the store was originally planned to open in October 2020, and the second store was planned to open soon in London. The Huawei store not only offers its electronics, but also gadget training, technical support, and even one-to-one consultation for its customers. According to the director of Huawei Technologies Sir Andrew Kahn, "2020 has been a difficult year for all of us, and not least for the main street in the UK."
He went on to add that “Huawei is facing its own challenges in the UK, but we remain committed to serving the UK market and in particular our legions of customers who love our retail products. This exciting new store and the opportunities it creates are a great sign of our commitment, our faith in Westfield and the UK business in general. ”
Likewise, Anson Zhang, CEO of Huawei Business Group, stated:
The UK is an extremely important market for us and we are delighted to be able to offer shoppers the opportunity to purchase new appliances in-store in addition to an excellent customer service experience.
