CRN A-List - out today!

Who are the industry's movers and shakers?

If the most senior players in the UK IT channel were animals, then resellers, disties and vendors would be crawling with dogs, lions, cats and tigers. That's according to this year's CRN A-list, which is out today.

The annual supplement shines a light on some of the most important movers and shakers that make up the UK IT channel.

The print edition of the A-List will be circulated in the next issue of CRN (28 November) but you can view all of the profiles online now.

Participants were asked, as part of the informal questionnaire, which animal they would be. A fifth (21 per cent) likened themselves to man's best friend - a dog. Lions were the next most popular animals, with 14 per cent of the channel movers and shakers claiming to be similar to the big cat. Regular kitty cats were third most popular among the channel bigwigs.

Some wildcards were also thrown into the mix on the A-list, with two resellers likening themselves to a honey badger, another comparing themselves to a swordfish, and another who said they see similarities between themselves a fly. Penguins, seal lions, mythical dragons, wild dogs and ferrets also made it into the mix. Each to their own.

The A-list is now in its twelfth year and asks senior reseller, MSP, distie and vendor bosses to answer a mix of serious and light-hearted questions about themselves.

The list is designed to be a snapshot into the industry, not an exhaustive list. If you know someone who you would like to put forward for next year, please get in touch.
