CCI turns a deeper shade of green

Distributor partners with VeryPC to bring its eco-friendly range of PCs and servers to resellers

Written by Sara Yirrell

CCI Distribution has polished its green credentials by partnering with UK manufacturer VeryPC to supply a range of environmentally friendly hardware offerings to the UK market.

Under the terms of the deal, CCI will initially stock and distribute VeryPC’s new Broadleaf business desktop PCs to retailers and resellers. Other products will include VeryPC’s Treeton and BE business desktop PC ranges, along with its portfolio of rackmount and small business GreenServers.

Craig Bumby, sales director at VeryPC, said: “As we look to ramp up our market presence and promote our latest energy-efficient and environment-friendly business products, it’s vital that we have an effective distribution model in place.

“Not only will CCI give us a far greater reach nationwide, but its focus on customer service and optimising the supply chain will ensure that we are able to fulfil all customer and reseller distribution needs with minimal impact on the environment.”

Nick Preston, sales director at CCI, said: “We’re seeing growing demand for desktop computers with reduced energy requirements, as more and more companies are recognising that these products save money as well as delivering environmental benefits.

“VeryPC is an award-winning green manufacturer with a fantastic track record in this emerging space, and we’re looking forward to taking its Broadleaf range to market and raising awareness of the numerous advantages of green IT.”
