Going for gold: Total Computer Networks is on the verge of HP and Microsoft Gold status

VAR Total Computer Networks is adding to its vendor accreditation tally and has almost doubled sales over the past year.

The Kettering-based VAR is on the verge of securing HP Gold and Microsoft Gold Partner status and has seen a 42 per cent increase in sales in the first half of 2010. It has doubled its sales team from eight sales heads to 17 in the past 12 months.

It is also claiming a 50 increase in customer acquisition and plans to open further regional offices up around the UK in the near future.

Last year saw the launch of its Juice online procurement tool, which the firm says has helped web growth significantly.

Kieran O’Connor, director of Total Computer Networks, said: “We are delighted with our progress so far for 2010 and are on target for massive growth. We have invested heavily in our systems, processes and technical competencies to ensure our customers get the best possible level of service and support.

“It is also great to see so many talented players are now joining us on the journey to be the partner of choice for mid-to-enterprise corporate organisations.”
