This Currys PC World and Dyson Stunt Helps Travelers Cool Off

— August 5, 2016 — Marketing
With help from Dyson, electrical retailer Currys PC World created a large-scale fan installation in order to help people traveling through the London Victoria train station cool off in the heat of summer.

The fan installation is made up of a total of 88 Dyson fans, acknowledging the fact that public transportation is often a hot and uncomfortable place for commuters to be trapped temporarily during a ride. This year, this is especially true, since the UK is experiencing record-breaking seasonal temperatures.

As well as being a fun way to engage and refresh the public of London, the fan installation ties in with the #TheBigChill campaign from Currys PC World, which aims to promote a variety of its cooling products like fans, freezers and refrigerators.
