CCS Media has hit sales of £180 million for 2017, an 18 percent increase on the previous year’s £153 million.
The VAR saw all product groups achieve double-digit growth, with average spend per customer and average order value both increasing.
CCS Media deputy managing director James Hardy said the outfit set out our multi-phase growth strategy in 2017 which had an ambitious but realistic goal of becoming a £250 million per annum reseller business within five years.
“We are slightly ahead of our growth trajectory, which is a testament to the entire team at CCS Media, who have combined to deliver on this great achievement.”
The reseller has been hiring at its 18 UK sites, providing industry-specific training alongside soft skills and academic role-related learning. Headcount is now 470.
“We made progress in 2017 regarding the way we structure and organise our learning initiatives, with a significant increase in further education and career-specific professional development”, Hardy said.
“Our two academies have proved extremely successful throughout 2017 and will be joined by the opening of a third academy in Greater London later this quarter, with a capacity to house 100 new employees.
“Not only do these programmes contribute to the development of the next generation of CCS Media team members with clearly defined career progression, they also provide a great environment for experienced industry professionals to take their next career steps into management.
“Ultimately, academy programmes are a long-term commitment to our growth which is possible due to our continued strong financial position.”
