Our Client is an exciting, fast-growing technology company based in Oxfordshire. We are a value-added distributor acting as a supply chain partner to many well-established vendors and brands. We supply enterprise-level Wi-Fi, Point-to-Point and security technologies to a very hungry market. The products and services we sell are always in high demand.

We are a privately owned, award-winning business that has become a recognised leader in its industry – and much like the industry itself, our company has been in continual rapid growth since its inception in 2005.
