US VAR expands into UK and Europe

US-based and a publicly traded value added reseller PCM has revealed plans to expand into the UK and the European market.

The company has decided to use its wholly-owned subsidiary, PCM Technology Solutions UK, to access the European market and says it will use it as its hub for both the UK market and the rest of Europe.

PCM also expects to fill around 90 positions by the end of the year and is now recruiting for the new roles across sales, vendor management, purchasing, marketing, IT, finance and other various business roles.

In February PCM UK hired Donovan Hutchinson as MD to help develop the offering for PCM UK.

He joined from Global IT where he was responsible for executing collaboration programmes and extending service offerings from North America based clients into the UK, Europe and Asia Pacific markets.

"Our expansion into the UK marks a major milestone for PCM as we introduce our technology solutions and capabilities to new markets around the world," stated PCM's Chairman and CEO Frank Khulusi.

"PCM UK will be our hub for the UK and the rest of Europe. Now is the right timing for us to pursue this additional market."

According to the company, which saw its 2016 revenues at $2.25bn and has nearly 4,000 employees, the move to the European marketplace represents the next major step after a successful expansion into Canada in 2015.
