Hammer has been operating as Exertis Enterprise since 2018, while remaining an independent company under the Exertis group of companies. The recent sale of Exertis’s sister companies and global reorganisation provided an opportunity for the business to reflect on its position and to return to the brand that best represents its ethos and reputation. “It’s been an honour to be part of a global brand that the industry recognises, but with that recognition came assumptions, that we operated and delivered in exactly the same way as Exertis UK,” said Jason Chibnall, Managing Director of Hammer Distribution. “This isn’t about nostalgia, it’s about clarity. Hammer has always stood for people, expertise, and outcomes that make the difference. By returning to the Hammer name, we are bringing that clarity back to the market and signalling our commitment to powering the future of enterprise IT,” he added. Hammer will continue to invest in dedicated sales and commercial expertise to help customers and end-users realise infrastructure outcomes that power the next generation of applications, from cloud adoption to artificial intelligence. www.hammerdistribution.com
