CREATIVE WORKSPACE SOLUTIONS distributor
Ascentae has announced the appointment of John
Vickerage (pictured above) as channel director.
With over two decades of audio visual and
unified communications industry experience,
Vickerage has latterly worked at Huddly before
making the move back into distribution.
On his decision to join Ascentae, Vickerage
comments “The modern distribution landscape
is highly competitive and the large broadline
distributors dominate the market, representing
few key brands.
This can be a challenge for new vendors
trying to gain their attention and for clients who
may require technical or commercial help in
selling to end-users. Ascentae represents an
underserved market by offering true value-add to
the channel.”
