Burton-based Central Telecom, the supplier of integrated telecommunications solutions, has reinforced its position as market leader by being voted Dealer of the Year for the fifth consecutive year by Network Finance, the GE Capital Equipment Finance division which provides financial services solutions in conjunction with BT
The award-winning company, that employs more than 170 staff at its Burton-on-Trent headquarters and satellite offices in Manchester and Guildford, received praise for its commitment to the Network Finance concept and for its increase in sales, contributing to a turnover in excess of £15 million.
Andrew McDougall, Managing Director of Central Telecom, comments, "Our company has always believed that there are many benefits to businesses financing communications solutions and Network Finance provides the flexibility needed to allow better financial planning in line with business strategies. The fact that Central Telecom has won this award for five consecutive years testifies to the strength of its relationship with Network Finance."
