Connector manufacturer HARTING has presented its 2015 Electronic Broadline Distributor of the Year to Wisbech-based Anglia. This is the third time Anglia has won this award.

"The marketplace remains challenging for us all, but Anglia has continued to focus on strong technical support and excellent customer service, and this has enabled them to outperform the UK distribution market in 2015", comments Simon Asbury, HARTING's Director of Sales & Market Development: "Well done to all the team."

"We've enjoyed a very close and productive relationship with HARTING and have worked together to achieve an outstanding result in a difficult market," said David Pearson, Technical Director, Anglia. "Our focus on working closely with customers on design-in and following through with exceptional service has delivered very strong relationships and a strong business."

Anglia has been a UK and Ireland distributor for HARTING since 2000. It previously won the Distributor of the Year award in 2012 and 2013.

HARTING expects that 2016 will be an exciting year in the electronic distribution sector. The company has recently strengthened its sales team with the recruitment of Luke Dixon, who will be addressing the challenges of growing HARTING's sales through the distribution channel.
