Like any highly competitive industry, the UK channel is packed with bitter rivalries. But that is not to say the UK's top resellers are above admitting a grudging respect for some of their peers, as we explore in this feature

Nominator: Richard Best, UK country manager, Comparex

Nominee: Softcat

I think Softcat are the pinnacle of culture. They have a really slick onboarding process. They have a massively expanding team and great business performance, without question.

Also, not annoyingly at all, they're a really nice bunch of guys. I think they're at the top of the tree for me.
