Hutchison 3G UK appoints distributors
December 11, 2002
Hutchison 3G UK today announced that Hugh Symons Group and Avenir
Telecom UK have been appointed as distributors for Hutchison 3G
UK (trading as 3).
Under the terms of the agreement, Hugh Symons and Avenir Telecom
will themselves introduce customers to 3 for 3 Services. The two
companies will nominate third parties to act as approved stockists
to introduce customers for 3 Services and to stock equipment supplied
by Hugh Symons and Avenir Telecom.
Once a stockist is approved by 3, Avenir Telecom and Hugh Symons
will be responsible for managing the stockist relationships on an
ongoing basis which will include training, supply chain management
and logistical support.
John Barton, sales director at 3, said: “As we scale up our operations
ahead of the rollout of commercial services, we’re very focused
on ensuring that independent stockists are able to play a part in
bringing the excitement of 3 to mass-market consumers. Hugh Symons
and Avenir are both perfectly positioned to help us achieve that
aim. ”
Geoff Walters, Managing Director, Avenir Telecom UK, said: “Avenir
is delighted to be one of the two distributors chosen by 3. I think
this reflects our professionalism, commitment and dedication to
new technologies and will be beneficial for our dealer partners.
This is another part of AT UK’s long term strategy fully to support
independent dealers and maximise their business opportunities in
this exciting phase of the market.”
Bob Sweetlove, Business Manager, Hugh Symons Communications, said:
“We are delighted to be chosen as a distributor for 3. The success
of 3G technology is a fundamental part of our long-term strategy
and in choosing us, 3 is endorsing our strategic aim of providing
complete choice and support to the channel. Our unity accreditation
scheme provides 3 with rapid access to an installed base of knowledgeable
resellers well positioned to unlock the profit opportunities of
this exciting new technology. We welcome enquiries from both existing
and new resellers interested in driving 3's sales.”
