David Watts, senior vice president and regional managing director, UK and Ireland, TD SYNNEX said: ‘To win this award for three years in succession is absolutely incredible. It’s a recognition of consistent and unwavering efforts our teams have made to adapt to the needs of our customers and deliver the services and support that they really need. Our focus – always – is on the customer and by making TD SYNNEX an open, collaborative and welcoming place to work, we aim to create an environment in which everyone can thrive.’
Commenting on the Cloud Distributor of the Year award, Simon Bennett, director, enterprise software and cloud, stated: ‘We are delighted to be named as the winner of this important, independent and prestigious award. It is a clear demonstration that, when it comes to the cloud, partners need us to provide much more than a great platform. They need the specialist expertise, services and support that enable them to grow and develop their capabilities and their business in the long term.
‘With our StreamOne Ion platform, our Practice Builder methodology, our strong alliances with all three of the main cloud hyperscalers, a dedicated and talented cloud team, and all the other programmes and services that’s what we aim to provide.’
Alison Nixon, director of the security business unit, said: ‘We’d have loved to have won of course, but to be highly commended for two years in a row speaks volumes for the amazing progress we are making in security. Our team can take real encouragement from that as we continue to build what we believe is the best and most supportive security practice in the channel.”
