CDW sees best ever second quarter

CDW has reported its best ever second quarter with the business unit holding its UK arm seeing revenue almost triple.

CDW saw global sales increase 7.6 percent to $4.9 billion and its net income rose 22.8 percent to $173 million.

Its UK division, which is part of its Canadan operation (presumably because it has the same Queen), saw revenue rocket 34 percent to $487 million.

CDW chief revenue officer Christine Leahy said: “Once again, UK results came in above expectations. UK had excellent results across both transactions and solutions.

“Despite looming Brexit decisions, the team continues to execute well in market.

“They are also doing a great job leveraging our international capabilities to grow outside the UK, both with UK-based customers and US-based customers. US referral to the UK increased over 30 percent in the quarter compared with the prior year.”
