Net profit: 1.9% Staff: 74
This education specialist branded calendar 2020 a "very successful year" as revenues ticked up by over a third and net profits more than doubled to £926,000. Getech supplied 20,000 Chrome devices to local authorities and schools during the year, while its higher education arm was kept busy by surging demand for remote learning devices. The Ipswich-based outfit doubles up as a thin client and Chromebook distributor (ranking 33rd in CRN's Top 40 UK Distributors), although direct sales generated 53 per cent of its top line.
