Printerland wins e-commerce gong

Cheshire printer VAR wins against variety of online businesses

Printer reseller Printerland has been named E-commerce Entrepreneur of the Year at an awards ceremony honouring the best online businesses.

Joint managing directors James Kight and Graham Vickers said the Digital Entrepreneur Awards prize was given for challenging the competition head-on with an outstanding web site and real innovation in e-marketing and online development.

Other winners were London restaurant group Pied à Terre and trainline.com developer Masabi.

"We are delighted that Printerland.co.uk has been recognised," said Kight. "The whole team deserves recognition for all their hard work and dedication."

The Altrincham-headquartered firm has increased its conversion rate of web site leads by 40 per cent this year alone by investing in new web software to improve its back-end system, said Kight.
