LAN3 Achieves Record Results Following Stellar Business Year

LAN3, the specialist networking and network security reseller, has achieved record growth levels for its business year ended May 2012, almost doubling in revenue from £2.9 million to £5.1 million, whilst increasing staff numbers from 11 to 22 over the same period. The company has also achieved Platinum partner status with Extreme Networks in just 18 months.

“Over the last 12 months, we have exceeded all our expectations,” explains Steve Thompson, Sales Director for UK & Ireland at LAN3. “We have built solid foundations in terms of our team and fostered strong relationships with vendors and distributors, all chosen for their best-of-breed products and services, enabling us to offer disruptive technologies that don’t just work, but change the way our customers operate in their own environments.”

LAN3 offers a wide range of networking and network security solutions, including all related services from data cabling, supply of hardware/software, its installation and configuration, to training and pre and post sales technical support and maintenance.

Gary Newbold, Country Manager for the UK at Extreme Networks adds, “LAN3 has proved what can be done with dedication, a strong team and a lot of hard work. Entering our programme as a Silver partner 18 months ago, LAN3 has achieved Platinum partner status in a very short space of time. We are now measuring all new resellers against LAN3’s achievements.”

Looking to the future, LAN3 is not sitting on its laurels. With an aggressive growth figure of £7.1 million set for the next 12 months, the company has plans to extend its portfolio to include not only wireless, LAN and security products but data centre products and a fully managed cloud offering for its wireless customer base. This will be achieved with the help of key partners such as Aerohive.
