Join the distribution debate

CRN has launched the first question in its Spotlight on Distribution campaign. Join in here.

Change is afoot in the distribution space like never before.

Between now and December, ChannelWeb will be asking for your feedback on the trends shaping what is arguably the channel's fastest-evolving sector.

With the US-based quartet of Tech Data, Ingram Micro, Avnet and Arrow back in buying mode and cutting an increasingly dominant figure in the UK market, our first question tackles the topic of industry consolidation.

Will the 'big four' US players eventually dominate UK distribution?

Yes, they will be the only ones left in five years
Yes, but there will always be a place for local specialists
No, things will stay as they are
No, and the locals will fight back
