IT security and control firm Sophos has announced the winners of its International Partner Awards 2009. These prestigious annual awards recognised the achievements and commitment of top channel business partners.
The ceremony was held at Waddesdon manor, near Aylesbury in the UK. The grand house, in the style of a 19th-century French château, was built for the Rothschilds and houses an impressive collection of French furniture, paintings and decorative arts. Invitees were given a private tour of the main house prior to the award dinner. With top accolades going to Secureway for Strongest New Business Partner, the awards ceremony was an opportunity for Sophos to thank its global network of channel partners for a successful year and recognise noteworthy achievement and success.
“We are thrilled to receive this award as we believe that there is a strong brand synergy between Sophos and Secureway Network Distributors, and that this, combined with our regional presence and local expertise, gives us a winning formula," adds Saeid Marashi, Channel Director, Secureway Network Distributors.
"We are working closely with the Sophos team to help expand their local presence by creating further customer service points in key markets across the Middle East and North Africa. Overall, our main objective is to work with Sophos to support them in achieving a balanced channel partner infrastructure across the region."
Commenting on the awards, Pino Kienlin, VP Sales NEMEAI at Sophos said "The Middle east is one of our fastest growing markets and this shows with the amount of new business generated this year. We enjoy strong relationship with Secureway and I am delighted for them to win the award of the strongest new business of the year."
