Bloxx Appoints EMEA Internet Filtering Channel Manager to Drive Sales Growth

PRLog (Press Release) – May 11, 2009 – Bloxx, the enterprise Web filtering specialist, today announced the appointment of Greg Hewett as its EMEA Channel Manager. Hewett will provide strategic support to existing Bloxx distributors and resellers, expand the company’s channel marketing efforts, and recruit new distributors and resellers to help deliver the company’s significant growth plans.

Hewett brings to Bloxx (http://www.bloxx.com) substantial knowledge of the IT/network security market.  He has over 11 years experience in channel management, and reseller and distributor sales/account management. He joins Bloxx from Westcon Distribution where he was the Packeteer Account Director.

“I am thrilled to be joining a company that have achieved unrivalled growth and technical dexterity year-on-year.  Channel growth is a vital part of the continued success of Bloxx and I am committed to driving the EMEA channel strategy for Web content filtering forward,” commented Hewett.

Hewett is looking to rapidly increase Bloxx’s distributor and reseller base across the EMEA region and to grow sales of its unrivalled third generation internet filtering, Tru-View Technology (http://www.bloxx.com/products/truviewtechnology.php). “Initially, I am looking to support Bloxx’s high quality existing partners, such as IT2Trust and iSecure, but I will also be looking to quickly identify additional, strategic partners in the region,” he adds.

“Our third-generation Tru-View Web filtering technology combined with our no cost-per-user appliance pricing model delivers best in class performance at a price which will be a very attractive proposition for resellers and end users across EMEA,” said Eamonn Doyle, Bloxx Chief Executive Officer. “We saw rapid growth in our UK and Ireland channel business last year and we believe that we can repeat this success across EMEA.”

Bloxx Tru-View Technology helps organisations proactively manage users’ access to Web content which might lower productivity, expose the organisation to risk and liability or pose a network security threat.

An estimated 1.5 million + users already benefit from enhanced security and performance with low administration and no cost per user charges. Additional protection is provided via anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-phishing functionality.
