Mark Wilson, MD of FSC, says: "Our strategic objective is to broaden our reach into the corporate and enterprise markets and we feel that the strong relationships that Storgate has with its reseller partners will play a significant role in driving this strategy."

Mark Campbell, MD of Storgate Africa, says that the company is absolutely delighted with the announcement. "FSC is one of the fastest growing multinational brands in SA and has a comprehensive range of solutions.

"We believe that access to the FSC portfolio will provide our resellers with the prospect of increasing revenues while bringing FSC into contact with a group of resellers with whom they have not necessarily dealt before.

"Whichever way you look at it, this relationship will result in growth," he says.

"This is a great opportunity for Storgate, since we play in a very different market to that of FSCs current distributors," he continues.

"Bringing FSC to an entirely new customer base will not only enhance brand awareness, but this move will have a positive impact on its market share," he concludes.
