HOW WE DRIVE YOUR SUCCESSAbout Us

We’re a leading IT distributor in the UK with the aim of growing your opportunities with our strong vendor partnerships and end-to-end support. Your success is our business, and we’re committed to our vision of delivering exactly what your customers need and maximising the value you deliver them.

OUR BRAND STORY

Where we started and where we’re heading 

 Our company history starts in 1983, with the Westcoast Group’s distributing arm, Westcoast Limited, establishing itself with HP as its first vendor. Since then, our ambition for an excellence-driven IT channel means we’ve grown to be the number one UK distributor for many of our vendors and customers.

Charity of the year - Yorda Adventures

YORDA ADVENTURES: A BEACON OF HOPE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Yorda Adventures is more than just a childcare provider – it’s a community. Parents at regular school gates get to share their challenges with other parents in similar situations, but parents of children with additional needs often miss out on this peer support. Yorda offers a space for solidarity and friendship for parents as well as children. Families who meet at the Yorda playhouse form long-lasting bonds, and some often choose to spend special occasions, like Christmas, together.

EARTH DAY 2025: CELEBRATING ‘OUR POWER, OUR PLANET’

We’re proud to help our partners find greener solutions and want to celebrate the achievements of our vendors and dedicated team in creating meaningful change.
