BullGuard charges ahead with Ingram Micro signing

Distribution giant to partner with security specialist

Ingram Micro UK has announced a partnership with BullGuard to distribute its anti-virus and mobile security solutions in the UK.

BullGuard said the broadliner's active relationships with 5,500 UK resellers would improve its reach, particularly in the mobile sector.

Ingram will carry the consumer-focused vendor's full range of internet security, mobile security and identity protection software.

Pete Morley, UK and Ireland manager at BullGuard, said: "We're very excited to have this opportunity to work with Ingram and believe that the partnership aligns perfectly with our strategy and growth plans for the company."

Mike Farrah, commercial director at Ingram Micro, added: "Ingram Micro is pleased to be able to pass on the benefits and financial rewards of BullGuard's Advantage revenue share scheme to our reseller partners, providing revenue share of up to 25 per cent on renewals.

"Up to 85 per cent of customers renew their licence, so the benefits for our reseller partners could be substantial," he said.
