They have an expert understanding of the requirements today's enterprises face and demonstrate outstanding drive and commitment to growing our mutual business.

We look forward to continued growth in 2013."
David Grant, Senior Vice President Westcon Europe commented, "It is a true honour to receive this award for the second year and recognizes the efforts of the collective Westcon team to drive our Jabra business.
