This global reseller giant last month admitted "the demand environment continues to be challenged" as it posted a one per cent YoY revenue rise to $1.94bn in its fiscal third quarter of 2020 (EMEA revenues slid four per cent to $341.3m). The NASDAQ-listed firm completed its integration of rival PCM during the quarter.

With UK arm Insight Direct yet to file its 2019 accounts as we went to press, we have had to rank it based on its calendar 2018 numbers, when it posted a net profit of £11.4m on revenues of £558.3m. A local management shuffle taking place on 1 January 2021 will see current UK boss Emma de Sousa move up to EMEA president. Darren Hedley will take on her current role.
