CCS Media celebrates record month

Firm announces plans to increase sales by 10 per cent each month, despite looming recession

Bullish reseller CCS Media has revealed plans to increase both sales and profits despite the looming recession.

The Chesterfield-based reseller announced record sales in July of £5.5m, making it the best month in the company’s 25-year history, and shows no sign of slowing.

Terry Betts, managing director of CCS Media, said: “CCS Media wants to expand its sales and profits by 10 per cent every month from now on and anticipates a minimum of a 10 per cent increase in overall business for the whole year.”

Betts said CCS has increased its sales force from 150 to 173 since January: “We are investing in staff when others are cutting. This is not CCS Media’s first recession – it is very experienced in this.”

The company which carries vendors Microsoft, Dell and HP has also reported an increase of orders amongst its customers in the education sector.

CSS Media opened new offices in Manchester, Leeds and Hemel Hempstead in March 2007.
