Hats off to Virtual1 for bagging four gongs at this year's Comms Dealer Sales & Marketing Awards including the coveted Team of the Year accolade (pictured), the biggest haul in the event's history.
Held at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel on May 3rd (sponsored by KCOM ) this year's sparkling awards extravaganza was brilliantly hosted by TV presenter Mark Durden-Smith and once again reflected the growing strength of the channel's sales organisations, noted Comms Dealer Editorial Director Nigel Sergent.
"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," stated Sergent.
"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."
