HISTORY OF EPITOME Living
Epitome Living was founded in 2017 to enhance residential spaces with technology that makes life easier. Since then, we’ve turned over 50 houses into smart homes across the north and south of Ireland and expanded to offer our building automation expertise in commercial settings like offices and showrooms.
We’re a team of five, based in Craigavon, and love what we do.
WHO ARE OUR FIVE?
-
Scott McMurray
DIRECTOR
Scott spent 10 years working as a software developer before founding Epitome Living. His interest in smart technology began when he saw the potential of what early smart products could do to enhance our experience of the built environments we live and work in.
Scott’s passion for Epitome Living lies beyond the physical products he recommends, in the art of creating the best user experiences for hosting, managing a building’s energy efficiency, relaxing, delivering presentations, and all the living we do in between.
Until 2019, Scott also joint-owned and ran the event production and audio visual installation company Kasat.
He’s likely to be the first person you’ll speak to if you contact us.

Jordan Connolly
SYSTEMS DESIGNER
Jordan has been a full-time member of the Epitome Living team since 2020.
He listens to our clients’ dreams for their spaces and maps the systems we'll install to make them a reality onto their floor plans and architectural drawings.
Jordan’s a details guy who takes big conceptual ideas and turns them into sophisticated plans. He’ll work with you to design your smart technology plan and pick the right products for your needs.
If you run into any problems with your systems once it’s installed, he’ll also be your initial troubleshooter if you sign on to our aftercare package.

Richard Barnett
INSTALLATION TECHNICIAN
Richard is our installation technician. He’s been with Epitome Living full-time for five years.
His role is hands-on, seeing projects through from panel building at our workshop in Craigavon, to the final installation of your smart system on site.
That means that of all the Epitome Living team members, you’ll see Richard the most.
He’s tidy, considerate, and pleasant, so you’ll enjoy having him around.
-
Lee Harrison
APPRENTICE TECHNICIAN
Mondays are Lee’s day at a college, and for the rest of the week, he works with us as technician apprentice.
Lee spends most of his week with Richard, learning practical skills that set him up to do the best smart technology installations.
This is Lee’s third year with us. He’ll complete his apprenticeship at the end of the 2026 school year.

Amy Winter
MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
Amy is the most recent Epitome Living recruit. She joins as our marketing and communications manager.
You probably won’t meet Amy during a planning process with us, but she’ll definitely ask politely for permission to write a case study about your project later down the line.
