Staged at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel on May 3rd and sponsored by KCOM, this year's sparkling awards extravaganza once again reflected the growing strength and importance of sales and marketing in the ICT channel.

Comms Dealer Editorial Director Nigel Sergent commented: ”No-one ever really doubts the quality of sales and marketing teams in the channel, but the Comms Dealer Sales and Marketing Awards endorses and underlines what a vibrant, unified and creative industry we work in. I would like to congratulate all the winners and pay tribute to all the teams that entered and made it such a positive, life affirming event.”
