A blazing start to 2012 for Softcat
Marlow, UK, 8 February 2012 – The year 2012 may have only just begun, but in its first five weeks Softcat has already picked up big awards from three major IT vendors.
The IT provider won Growth Partner of the Year at EMC’s UK Channel Awards, in recognition of its revenue and pipeline growth, competitive change and accreditation achievements. It then proceeded to win Partner of the Year at Symantec’s UK and Ireland Partner Awards ceremony, as well as two awards from leading virtualisation vendor VMware: Partner of the Year and Small Business Partner. Softcat’s sales of Symantec solutions have grown across the board, and the company has sold and delivered VMware solutions to more customers than any other VMware partner in the last year.
“We’re delighted to be winning such prestigious awards,” said Martin Hellawell, managing director of Softcat. “We’re still on a roll, building on two years of rapid growth during which we have doubled our turnover and headcount. To support our continuing growth, we will be recruiting many more talented people into IT sales executive and account manager roles throughout 2012.”
Softcat’s awards haul in the last two years also includes Reseller of the Year at the CRN Channel Awards, Dell UK and EMEA Partner of the Year, HP Mid-market PSG Reseller award, Mimecast Premier Partner of the Year, and Sophos Mid-Market Reseller of the Year.
