Entries now open for all categories What better way could there be to start the new year than by entering the Technology Reseller Awards 2026? Doing so will give you the chance to relive last year’s triumphs and successes. It might even provide strategic clarity as you plot your path towards continued growth in the year ahead. By most measures 2025 was a challenging year, with insipid growth, hesitant customers and cost increases across the board. It was also a year of great technological progress and, it has to be said, significant spending on infrastructure and digital transformation to support it. As ever, many vendors and channel businesses did very well even in difficult circumstances. Success comes in many forms. Revenue growth, increased market share and M&A activity are obvious markers, all well worth celebrating, but there are also less primary indicators like strengthening customer loyalty, improving staff morale, providing a welcoming workplace, investing in technology and systems, reducing one’s environmental impact and, the leitmotif of many interviews conducted over the last 12 months, ‘doing more with less’. We want to celebrate your achievements in all areas. The awards are free to enter online at www.technologyresellerawards.co.uk, where you will find entry criteria for each award. These are mainly for guidance purposes; we’re not expecting you to tick all the boxes. You can enter multiple categories – all we ask is that you tailor each entry to the award in question and don’t just copy and paste the same content. The deadline for entries this year is February 20, 2026, so you still have weeks to get your entry/entries in. But don’t delay.
