We’re extremely proud to be crowned Event Champions winner at the Comms Dealer Channel Champions Awards held yesterday on a brilliant afternoon at the Regents Park garden party. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners!

This accolade was awarded to Virtual1 in recognition of our flagship event, Future Connect. Now in its 3rd year, Future Connect will be taking place at the Pan Pacific Hotel London on October 5th, 2022.

We narrowly missed out on silverware in both the Tech Support & Engineering and People & Culture categories, earning a respectable Highly Commended for both entries.

The Channel Champions Awards 2022 highlights the full range of teams who contribute to building world-class channel organisations, and recognises achievements across all functions of channel businesses, including: Sales & Account Management, Marketing, Tech Support & Engineering, People & Culture, Exec Leadership, Billing & Finance.

“Not only did we have a record number of entries, but quality was even higher than previous years, and confirms our view that the channel has entered a new era of confidence. What impressed us most was the measurable returns these projects delivered. Many have total paybacks multiple times the value of the investment. This shows what a great relationship the channel have with their customers, and how they are committed to working with partners for the long-term benefit of their organisations.” said Simon Turton, Sales Director, BPL Business Media.

“We highly value our partners and want to help them plan for the future, understand upcoming market opportunities & technology trends, how Virtual1 can help them to take advantage of these and what this means for their businesses. We want our partners to know we are all about growth, and that our recent acquisition by TalkTalk will only enhance and strengthen their capabilities." said Neil Wilson, Product Strategy Director.

Nigel Sergent, Editorial Director, added: “With a small marketing team Virtual1 pulled off the perfect channel event that not only delivered top-notch education and networking but also genuine ROI , which really impressed the judging panel.”
