19 Sep 2014 Wireless distributor Purdicom listed in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 as it doubles office space to accommodate growth
WANTAGE, UK, 17th September 2014 – The leading wireless, cloud & security distributor Purdicom announced today that it has been listed in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 2014, making it the second consecutive year of Tech Track recognised growth. The acclamation comes as the Oxfordshire based wireless distributor doubles the office space creating a dedicated Wi-Fi Team sales floor and unveiling a brand new conference centre for vendor training, workshops & meetings.
Purdicom’s key differential is people; we are continually employing energetic and motivated people to drive the business forward
The Hiscox sponsored Tech Track 100, is a league table of the top 100 privately owned technology companies in the UK which have shown consistent innovation & growth over a 3 year period (sales greater than £5m). With an entrepreneurial philosophy at the heart of the business set by leaders Hugh Garrod & Chris Jennings, Purdicom has been instrumental with the growth of vendors such as Ruckus Wireless, Cambium Networks, Repeatit, BATS Wireless and more recently Siklu, helping Purdicom achieve the Tech Track award.
Chris Jennings, Sales & Marketing Director for Purdicom commented, “Achieving the Tech Track award for two consecutive years is testament to the hard work from the Purdicom team and the strategy put into action by us and our vendors. We have seen continued growth with Ruckus Wireless as new innovative products are brought to market alongside new successes including Siklu where we are now achieving what were last year’s quarterly sales figures every month… That’s an increase of over 1200%.”
Purdicom has recently won a collection of large projects through VAR & ISP partners in the higher education, CCTV and Oil & Gas industries as well as providing wireless to telecoms companies working in the Government backed Connection Vouchers scheme. As Purdicom sets to continue working with larger projects the new sales floor and conference centre have been opened, warehousing capacity has been increased by a further 30% and it has announced plans to install a fully functional wireless & network testing facility.
Chris Jennings continued, “Purdicom’s key differential is people; we are continually employing energetic and motivated people to drive the business forward thus our decision to create an additional sales floor. Another highly important area for us is partner enablement. We host accredited training, workshops, events, and webinars every week at our offices providing partners with the tools to actively sell and support their customers with our entire vendor portfolio.”
