PCR Awards 2018: winners in full

On a night full of revelry and celebration, the Channel came together to recognise the achievements of the industry in the past 12 months at the PCR Awards 2018. 

AMD walked away the winner of the prestigious Company Of The Year award while other noteworthy winners included National Retailer winner GAME, Hardware Distributor winner Exertis and the night’s only double-winner ASUS who picked up the gongs for Components Vendor and PC Vendor.

Chesterfield-based Chips Computers and Kilmarnock’s own Utopia Computers both ended the night as winners for the second year in a row.

Special thanks go to our partners who helped to make the night happen. These included Ci Distribution as Headline Partner, AOC International as Distribution Category Partner, Northamber as Reseller Category Partner, HANNspree UK as event partner, ASUS as After Party Partner, Intel as Drinks Reception Partner and Smithie UK as the ‘Magic Mirror’ Photobooth Partner.

Thank you to everyone who attended the PCR Awards 2018 and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.
