LEADING THE INDUSTRY
Headline Sponsor
Target has been a mainstay of the IT channel for over 25 years, supporting independent resellers and local computer shops around the UK with distribution pricing for global brands, and a range of business services designed to help resellers of all sizes sell more, to more people.
Target is also employee-owned, meaning every single member of staff has a stake in the success of the business. Their commitment to its national customer base of retailers, etailers, consultants, system builders, network specialists and value-add resellers has only grown since, with broader product ranges, OEM system-build services and custom PC builds on behalf of its customers.
This year Target will be exhibiting and partnering with a range of brands from its growing portfolio – some have exhibited at TechMAX before but attendees can also expect to see some new ones exhibiting for the first time this year. These will be announced in the run-up to TechMAX in July.
The Target Team will also be on-hand throughout the day to talk with attendees, demonstrate products and discuss how they can help resellers grow their businesses.
Whether you’re a familiar face, or new to TechMAX, make sure you stop by and say ‘hi’.
