PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
Last night was the PCR Awards 2019, where the PC and tech industry turned out in force to celebrate another fantastic year in the channel.
Hosted by the Sinnerman himself, comedian and The Chase star Paul Sinha, the awards highlighted the cream of the crop across the retail, reseller, channel services, distribution and vendor sectors.
PCR would like to say a big thank you to our panel of 30+ industry experts for making some very tough decisions considering we had such a vast array of well-deserving finalists this year.
We would also like to say a special thanks to our Awards Partners who helped to make the night such a success. These included Tenda as Headline Partner, AOC and Distribution Category Partner, HANNspree as Event Partner, Exertis as After Party Host, CMS Distribution as Retail Category Partner, ASUS as Photo Booth Partner, Ci Distribution as Dining Room Partner, and Ortial Technologies as Event Partner.
