Xeptor IT Distribution opens office in the United Kingdom

Dutch IT distributor Xeptor IT Distribution has opened a new office in Milton Keynes, close to London. Xeptor IT Distribution has established a stabile and profitable growth of 30% year on year in the past three years. Part of the growth comes from expansion to countries like Belgium, Germany, Spain and Sweden and the continuous growth in The Netherlands. To continue the growth in the UK, Xeptor has appointed John Kennedy as Country Manager as of February 13th 2012.

Since 2002 Xeptor IT Distribution has actively been operating in the Dutch market, supplying resellers with new, end of life and refurbished desktops, notebooks , screens and printers. In recent years Xeptor has extended her portfolio with servers, storage and networking equipment. The decision for a local office has been made to service customers better, a company belief that business should been done locally, to hire more personnel with knowledge of the UK IT-market, and create new partnerships with local partners.

Country Manager John Kennedy
Xeptor has appointed John Kennedy as Country Manager. Before Xeptor, Kennedy has worked at an IT-distributor where he was a Sales and Purchasing Manager. As Country Manager at Xeptor he will be responsible for all sales activities in the United Kingdom. Kennedy: “I choose Xeptor because of the unique and successful concept. My goal is developing a team and office that is respected in the UK as offering the best in pricing, customer service and a one stop shop for all IT hardware needs.”
Chief Operations Officer Jordy Kool about hiring Kennedy: “Xeptor has grown to a point in the UK where the time is right to make new investments. With our current team of 5 sales on the UK market it became important to hand over the responsibility. With the expertise, experience and drive of John, we believe that we can continue our growth. The end of life concept of Xeptor IT Distribution, does not only apply to the Netherlands only. Also in countries like the UK, it has become increasingly important to expand life cycles, standardize and decrease costs. We enable resellers to let their customers do so.”
