Congratulations to Britain’s 50 Best Managed IT Companies and Reseller Choice Award Winners for 2024
In the UK IT channel, we do two things every year.
- We assess the best business practices of hundreds of channel partners, including VARs, MSPs, MSSPs, and ITSPs. The top 50 are honored with Britain’s 50 Best Managed IT Companies Awards. Each company must respond to over 200 questions, allowing our AI system—which continuously learns from thousands of submissions—to evaluate their performance. Additionally, manual oversight is involved, as some elements of the assessment require human input. Every channel partner should reflect on these questions at least once a year. It’s remarkable how recognizing your weaknesses can lead to building strength! Earning this award brings a wealth of advantages for channel partners who truly appreciate its significance! See www.bestmanageditcompanies.com
- We invite our more than 6,500 Channel Partners and eChannelNEWS followers in the United Kingdom to cast their votes for their favourite vendors and distributors across various categories. The companies that receive the highest number of votes in each category will be awarded the Reseller Choice Award. The rankings and winners are solely based on the votes from channel partners. Additionally, vendors and distributors can invite their partners to support them, much like in a political election.
Traditionally, we hold an in-person awards reception and dinner for our winners. This year, however, we live-stream the results on eChannelNEWS. We plan to host an in-person awards reception in 2025, aligning with the expansion of the Cybersecurity Defense Ecosystem (CDE) from North America. Discover why this resource and community are essential for your cybersecurity business practices by exploring the CDE. Join the CDE or subscribe to eChannelNEWS to stay updated on all the news.
Here are Britain’s 2024 Reseller Choice Awards Winners:
What greater acknowledgment can a vendor or distributor receive for their efforts in the channel than the recognition from the partners who cast their votes? Many channel leaders utilise this ranking to assess their year-over-year progress from the channel’s perspective. There’s a wealth of insights to be gleaned from the data generated by this program.
If you find your name on any of these lists, it signifies that you garnered the most votes from channel partners! For others, it indicates that while your partners may have voted for you, you didn’t receive enough votes to ascend the ranks. Be sure to encourage your partners to vote for you next year, much like a political campaign aimed at boosting voter turnout!
The ultimate goal is to independently acknowledge the vendors and distributors who excelled in supporting their channel partners this year, while also motivating others to improve in the coming year. This recognition can be instrumental for motivating more vendors and distributors to better support the channel community!
Here is a link to the main Reseller Choice Awards website! This program originated in North America and is expanding globally…We track over 1,000 leading vendors and distributors.
