Woking, Surrey: 9th November, 2011 - VAD Wick Hill has won the title ‘Security Distributor of the Year’ at the Computing Security Awards, making it consecutive wins for Wick Hill for the two years the awards have run. The awards were set up to recognise the solutions and companies that have most impressed those charged with keeping their organisations secure.

Kilpatrick credits the company’s success to a concerted team effort in providing a strong support programme of marketing services, flexible credit, technical and sales consultancy support, an innovative lead management system and free training to its VAR partners. This support has helped many partners to continue to grow during the recession.
