Avnet Technology Solutions appoints Natalie Reeve to Sales Manager for Computer Components

Avnet Technology Solutions (Avnet) is pleased to announce that Natalie Reeve has been appointed as Sales Manager of the Computer Components business in the UK and Ireland.

This appointment was made following a restructure of the Computer Components Management Team within Avnet.  Sukh Dhillon, previously Sales Manager Northern Europe (UK, Ireland and Nordics) was promoted at the end of last year to Regional Sales Manager Western Europe to bring synergies across the more mature markets of the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy Spain, France and Nordics.  Dhillon took the opportunity to bring additional focus to the UK and Ireland by promoting Natalie Reeve into the role of Sales Manager. 

Dhillon commented, "The UK and Ireland combined form one of the biggest regions for the Computer Components business in Avnet and one of the largest single territories in EMEA. Placing dedicated resource at a Sales Manager level into these countries will allow us to drive forward with our growth plans for these strategic countries and clearly demonstrates Avnet's ongoing commitment to computer components distribution in Western Europe".

Reeve has been with the Computer Components business of Avnet for three years gaining a great deal of experience initially as an Account Manager and latterly as Team Leader.

In commenting on her new challenge Reeve said, "The Computer Component business within Avnet has been going from strength to strength. We have a strong vendor portfolio, including the addition of some new names such as Asus, Transcend and Samsung who have allowed us to focus on new vertical markets and therefore open up new opportunities for our Business Partners.  These new vendors join an established list including AMD, Hitachi, Intel, Kingston Technology and Seagate who Avnet has been working with for a number of years.  My immediate objective is to work as closely as possible with all our vendors to drive increased opportunities and profitability for our Business Partners".
