Hosted by inspirational England World Cup winning rugby legend Matt Dawson this year's Comms Dealer Sales & Marketing Awards (CDSMA) extravaganza (staged at the London Marriott Hotel in Mayfair on May 2nd and sponsored by KCOM) once again recognised and celebrated the channel's revenue generating Superheroes.
Stand-out winners were Daisy Wholesale and IntY which both scooped a hat-trick of awards (Daisy Wholesale is pictured above collecting the Comms Dealer Sales Team of the Year award) while Pure Telecom and Sirus Telecom won for the second year in succession.
Virtual1 and Windsor Telecom were also top winners, securing the coveted ‘Best Company to Work’ For awards.
"The CDSMA is always a highlight of the BPL spring calendar and the event was as motivating and enjoyable as ever, with the channel’s ‘Superheroes’ gaining much deserved credit for their amazing sales and marketing efforts," said Comms Dealer Editorial Director Nigel Sergent.
"The event once again underlined what a dynamic and inspiring industry we work in and recognised in style the teams that have made a big difference to their companies over the last year."
