Colt has announced the five winners of the UK heat of its annual European Partner of the Year awards. This year's UK winners will now go forward to the European competition, which culminates in an awards ceremony later this year.
The winners of this year's awards are:
Sales & Marketing Agent of the Year: Progressive Consulting Limited (PCL).
Sales & Marketing Reseller of the Year: BIS
Business win of the year: Marlin Communications
Innovation Partner of the Year: Virocom
New Partner of the Year: G3 Network Services
Now in its fourth year, the Partner of the Year scheme is designed to recognise and celebrate Colt's top performing partners, both on a national and pan-European level.
It is a key feature of Colt's partner programme, Colt Community, which offers partners tools and initiatives around four pillars: Partnership, Marketing, Product and Rewards.
Rob Jupp, Business Unit Head at Colt UK, said: "Close, collaborative working practices with our channel partners will continue to be a key focus for Colt in 2010."
