Onecom, the UK’s largest independent business-to-business communications technology specialist, has been named Best Mobile Service and Solution Provider at the national Mobile Industry Awards (MIAs).
The company, based in Whiteley, Hampshire, also picked up the Growth Award in recognition of its ongoing expansion through organic means and strategic acquisitions.
The Best Mobile and Solution Provider Award recognises the achievements of unified communications dealers, mobile dealers and managed services providers in giving businesses a competitive edge.
Presenting it to Onecom, judges praised the company’s versatility and ability to give businesses a competitive edge using products and solutions from a range of suppliers.
They said: “Onecom’s supplier-agnostic approach reinforces its independent values and allows it to constantly assess the market and evaluate various offerings. All of this ensures it can craft a market-leading value proposition to its customers.”
They added: “Onecom was able to demonstrate a 15 per cent increase in pre-tax profitability and a focus on the best products and services to customers.”
Onecom CEO Darren Ridge said: “Onecom’s mission is to be the best at what we do, providing technology and solutions that go above and beyond the norm to give businesses we work with the advantage in an increasingly competitive world.
“These awards are recognition that we are meeting that challenge, and underline how our customers benefit from our scale and the expertise of our teams as we continue to grow.”
