G Data lands second UK distributor

Internet security vendor names Koch Media as second UK distie

Internet security vendor G Data has appointed gaming specialist Koch Media as its UK second distributor.

The Germany-based vendor launched in the UK last April and has focused its efforts on winning replacement anti-virus sales by growing its VAR base.

James Coombes, channel sales manager UK at G Data, said the deal marked the start of its next phase of UK expansion.

"G Data already has a strong reputation in Europe and this latest partnership will drive growth within the UK," said Coombes.

"Koch Media have a strong focus on providing up-to-date technology and customer service, which is why G Data is the perfect match for this distributor."

Joanna Kemp, head of sales at Koch Media, added: "G Data and Koch Media GmbH have been successfully working together in Europe for a number of years.

"I am extremely pleased that as a UK entity we are able to build upon this success and allow the UK to benefit from an already strong relationship with G Data. "
