SICL is looking at collaborating with IT suppliers in other countries

Storage and networking reseller SICL is planning to extend its reach into mainland Europe after registering double-digit revenue growth in its last fiscal year.

In the 12 months to the end of June, the West Yorkshire-based VAR grew sales by 10.5 per cent to £4.2m.

The new year is also shaping up nicely, with SICL recording its best ever monthly sales figures in July.

Sales and marketing manager Maston Daniel claimed the company is currently exploring opportunities in mainland Europe and further afield.

He revealed that one of SICL’s existing customers had a sizeable presence in France and the reseller was looking at boosting staff language skills.

“We are broadening our scale and scope and are at the beginning of a change of culture,” he said.

“We are looking at things like multi-language customer support and collaborating with IT suppliers in other countries.”

SICL was accredited as a Dell Certified partner in October last year. The reseller revealed it won six major storage contracts with the vendor in the first three months of this year.

“Demand for NAS and SAN infrastructures is continuing to grow,” added Daniel.
