Probrand defies market downturn

VAR sees turnover shoot up by over 50 per cent despite tough market conditions

Ambitious VAR Probrand has bucked the downturn by posting a 54 per cent increase in turnover for its financial year end.

The firm, which launched its own online procurement service earlier this year, also recently entered the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 list, which ranks the UK’s fastest-growing private technology companies based on sales growth over the last two years.

Peter Robbins, managing director of Probrand, said: “In the current challenging environment everyone is looking to save time and money as well as stretch the reach of their existing budgets.

“The public sector in particular is alive to the need for more efficient ways of working and our IT marketplace is giving end users the opportunity to help relieve the perceived burden associated with buying IT and related tasks like administration and accounting. Our sales are very encouraging.”
