Bourns rewards Anglia’s strong growth in 2012
Wisbech, UK, 26 November 2012 – Anglia Components today announced that it has been named as UK 2012 Distributor of the Year for Point of Sale Growth by Bourns Inc., a world leading manufacturer of electronic components.
Presenting the award, Dietmar Veith, Distribution Sales Manager Bourns, said, “Achieving growth in the prevailing economic conditions is challenging and takes an exceptional team. Anglia Components has just such a team. Despite the market conditions, Graham Bridger and his colleagues have focussed totally on demand creation, working closely with Anglia customers and with Bourns to achieve design-ins, and following through to translate these design-ins into business growth on the franchise. Well done.”
Steve Rawlins, CEO of Anglia, responded, “Bourns is a long-standing and valued partner for Anglia, and we are honoured and delighted to receive this award. Anglia doubled its Key Account Management and its Field Applications Engineering teams in 2012 and this achievement shows that our investment is bearing fruit.”
Anglia has had an exceptional year in 2012, growing its share of the UK electronic components market whilst celebrating its 40th anniversary. Innovations such as the introduction of Ready Reel, allowing customers to buy production ready part-reels whilst retaining full traceability, have proved popular with its customers.
