CCS MEDIA CELEBRATES 25^TH ANNIVERSARY

January 2008…CCS Media, one of the UK’s largest IT Resellers is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month.  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 pounds. In 1996, the company reported a massive increase in turnover of £10 million pounds 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, Ilford 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.  Terry Betts, Managing Director says “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”.

The quality of staff available in the Manchester area is outstanding, coupled with first class manufacturer relationships, buying power and back office support. Our refreshing approach to both our employees and customers, ensures a consistent stream of new business and high staff retention. We are justifiably proud to have one of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry and are keen to continue our growth though staff development and continued recruitment".
