Farnell element14 named ‘Distributor of the Year’ at the Electronics Industry Awards
Farnell element14, the Development Distributor, was recognised in two categories at the inaugural Electronics Industry Awards on 25th September in Birmingham.
The business, which is part of the Premier Farnell Group and Avnet, was named Distributor of the Year and was ‘Highly Commended’ for its environmental leadership activities which includes its successful recycling programme for customers. The winner of each category was determined by votes from industry peers.
Mathew Thorpe, Regional Sales Director for the UK & Ireland at Farnell element14, who collected the award supported by members of the sales and marketing team, said; “It’s been a great year for Farnell element14 – with investment from our parent company, Avnet, we have expanded our stock, added many new suppliers to our linecard and broken ground on a new £60m warehouse in Leeds. Being named Distributor of the Year means so much as it is voted for by customers and suppliers and recognises the efforts our people make each and every day to keep our promises and deliver for customers.”
