History
CCS Media, one of the UK’s largest IT
Resellers is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Formed in
January 1983, the company has gradually increased its product lines in
response to customer requirements and today, it supplies office
products, IT hardware and software, networking, technical services and
office furniture to the business and public sectors, including Central
and Local Government, Education Departments and the Emergency Services
sector.
CCS Media has enjoyed impressive growth over the years with rapidly
rising turnover and a steady expansion in its network of offices. In
1986, the company reported a turnover of £1 million. In 1996, the
company reported a massive increase in turnover of £10 million
with this trend continuing in 2001 with a turnover of £20 million, £30
million the following year, £40 million in 2004 and a staggering £50
million in 2007.
In terms of monthly records, July 2006 was the best month ever for CCS
Media, when it recorded sales of £4.3 million alone!
In 1993, the company moved into it’s current
Head Office in Chesterfield
and further, opened offices in East Kilbride and
Ascot, followed by an
opening in Bradford in 2002,
Woodford Green and
Harrow in 2003,
Southend and
Leatherhead in 2005 and
Hemel Hempstead and
Manchester in 2007. In
addition, CCS Media acquired Data Memories plc in 1994, Euribon plc in
1998 and First4Media in 2006, the latter being a leading tape media
reseller to the broadcasting industry.
Over the years, CCS Media has formed strong business relationships with
all major hardware and software manufacturers such as Hewlett Packard
and IBM to name but a few and developed successful partnerships with
manufacturers of magnetic storage media such as Fuji and Maxell.
CCS Media’s magic formula is down to its commitment to complete customer
satisfaction; the company provides each customer with its own dedicated
and fully trained Account Manager, it assures best pricing and excellent
standards of service and delivery.
The company has high ambitions to expand further across the country with
plans to open further offices in 2008.
"The pace of growth has been massive for CCS Media. We’re really
proud of the work we’ve done so far but we still have a way to go if our
plans are to fully materialise. We have a happy workforce and can boast
a very low level of staff turnover but very importantly, CCS Media has
kept the customer happy and raised the bar when it comes to customer
service".

“I can always speak to my Account Manager, and if there are any problems I feel safe knowing that the person on the other end of the phone understands my business and the need for operations to run smoothly. It’s the service that counts, and service is what CCS Media has in spades.”
