InAVate Distributor of the Year Finalists

Posted on: 11th January 2017

Another reason to make 2016 one of our best years ever - we are an InAVate Distributor of the Year Finalists! We're very excited to visit the much anticipated InAVation Awards on the 7th Feb at ISE, in Amsterdam. It will be our first time attending a huge event like this collectively and we can't wait to see what it's all about - you never know, we may even win the Distributor of the Year Award! What an achievement that would be.

Our Business Model

We are strictly trade distributors -  business-to-business distribution. The bottom line is that you will never find us competing with you for a sale or contract. We don't think the word "trade" is understood by a lot of companies, but we take the definition of trade very seriously and therefore we don't compete with YOU, hence one of our slogans "We are your one true trade distributor". We strive to be the best at what we do - SUPPORT YOU.

We think we're extremely unique to our competitors. We set the standards for customer satisfaction extremely high and always strive to go the extra mile. We work hard to promote a strong team ethos where everyone enjoys coming to work, and hopefully that is reflected when you talk to us on the phone! Here are some things we achieved in 2016:

  • 20+ TecZone events (training sessions for our customers)
  • Launch of a brand new, mobile & tablet responsive trade website (now even more responsive!)
  • Started to support 0% Interest Finance for our customers

  • Hit a record month sales for the history of the company - £1.075M, after BREXIT and after re-shaping the business

  • Fast growing partnership with BPM | PRO and also trade partners of PLASA
  • Members of Team Leisuretec attended tradeshows NAMM Show in LA, Pro Light & Sound in Frankfurt and ISE in Amsterdam
  • Euro 2016 Pizza and Beer event - hosted beer, pizza and football for the team to watch home nations Wales and England in the Euros
  • Growth in workforce - Nearly 10 new employees who're rapidly growing into their role and taking more responsibility
  • Our Employee of the Month is now being sponsored by key suppliers like Sennheiser, JBL, TOA and Trantec
  • Monthly Team Breakfasts for the entire company
  • Treated the entire team to Leisuretec garments, fleeces and appropriate clothing for their role
  • Upgrade in internal IT equipment - everyone now has dual DELL 22" monitors and high power machines
  • Upgrade in Phone systems software and hardware
  • Upgrade in cyber security software
  • Development of internal premises - built new offices for logistics, purchasing and services department
  • Further delegation to individuals so that they can develop their strengths and their roles in the company
