Fordway strengthens new business sales team

VAR hires industry expert following launch of managed and hosted infrastructure service

Stewart brings more than 20 years of experience with her, 17 of which were spent at Xerox handling account management channel and new business

Infrastructure VAR Fordway Solutions has recruited a channel veteran to bolster its new business sales team.

Jenny Stewart, new business sales manager for London and the South East at Fordway, joins the reseller from IT services consultancy Prologic.

Based at the VAR’s new headquarters in Surrey, Stewart brings more than 20 years of channel experience to the table.

Richard Blanford, managing director of Fordway, said: “We are delighted that Jenny has decided to join us.

“She has the credentials and drive to be an integral part of our new business efforts during a very exciting time for us.”

The appointment follows Fordway’s launch of a new managed and hosted infrastructure service, designed to reduce costs by up to 25 per cent.

Stewart added: “IT departments need to maximise intelligence and minimise maintenance.

“The new offering, which combines technologies from companies such as VMware, Compellent, Commvault, Riverbed, Citrix and Microsoft, enables organisations to improve business efficiency, reduce IT infrastructure costs, lower the risk of a business outage and maximise return on investment.”

Stewart is the second appointment in the last few months. Barry O’Keefe, previously at 2e2, joined Fordway last year as new business sales manager for the Midlands.
