Cancom changes name

Apple VAR's site set to become Tramscom to reflect takeover by Trams earlier this year

Apple Premium Reseller Cancom is to change its name to Tramscom after its takeover by the firm earlier this year.

In an email sent to customers, the firm said: "As part of the recent acquisition of Cancom Limited by the Trams Group, our website will soon be rebranded as Tramscom to reflect our new name.

"We will still be offering the same great prices, products and customer experience and will continue to improve the services we offer."

Trams bought Cancom for an undisclosed sum last month and its three UK stores temporarily ceased trading at the time.

The firm's managing director Warren Peel later revealed that he had started a 30-day consultation with Cancom's retail staff, but stressed it was "not the end" of Cancom.

He intended to capitalise on Cancom's strengths in the B2B and education markets and the "enduring appeal" of the Apple iPad in the enterprise market, he told CRN at the time.
