Westcoast retain UK's largest distributor top spot in the CRN Distributors List 2022

CRN's latest rundown of the "45 Distributors You Need to Know 2022" has today been released, and we're pleased to announce that Westcoast have retained the top-spot as the UK's largest distributor.

Westcoast were the only member of the top five to grow, which is a fantastic achievement and testament to the incredible efforts of all our staff across the business.

You can read more about our growth in the latest Q&A session with Alex Tatham, here.

Also released today is a CRN interview with our Sales Director, Phil Bell, discussing what drove Westcoast to retain the crown as the UK's largest distributor, M&A plans and whether double-digit growth is achievable in 2022. 

"Westcoast always have a double-digit growth aspiration. I think one of the big reasons we grew was also because the channel just asked us to do stuff that we didn't do before. "Can you deliver 3,500 Macbooks to individual end users and take back their old ones and bring it all back to site?" These are projects that we've never really been faced with before." - Phil Bell, Sales Director

Also discussed was the focus on talent and sustainability as a general pain point for distributors at the moment. Having just been named "Best Company to Work for" at the Sales and Marketing awards, and winners of the Equality and Diversity award at the Thames Valley Business Awards 2022, we are continually striving to put our people, and planet ahead. 

"We all need to figure out a way of reducing trucks, reducing carbon, accelerating our carbon targets. We've got an aggressive net zero by 2035...And then also talent. We as a channel just need to work harder at recruiting new people into this industry." - Phil Bell, Sales Director
