Progress Distribution Launches in the Middle East

Oct. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Since the company was officially launched earlier this month, Progress Distribution has quickly made an unprecedented name for itself as one of the leading IT Distribution companies throughout the Middle East.

Progress Distribution is a boutique IT distributor that focuses on emerging technologies within Security, Networking, Infrastructure and Storage. Besides offering resellers with commercial and marketing support, the company also has a dedicated professional services division, which provides consulting, training, deployment and technical support.

The Progress Distribution management team is comprised of high-profile and experienced professionals who are veterans of the Middle East IT Distribution industry. With decades of collective experience, Tim Martin, Keith Rich and Gareth Morgan are responsible for the launch of the company and ongoing success of their vendors.

Keith Rich, the current CEO of Progress Distribution launched Online Distribution in 1993 and continued to run the business for several years after its acquisition in 2000. He was previously the Senior Vice President at the multi-billion dollar global IT Distributor Westcon, where he was solely responsible for the Africa, India and Middle East regions.

The Chief Financial Officer of Progress Distribution, Tim Martin has over 20 years of experience in the Middle East IT market and previously launched his own business entitled Fusion Distribution. After selling the company to Computerlinks, Martin remained a part of the team and helped grow company revenues of over $100 million.

The Progress Distribution Sales Director Gareth Morgan launched a startup distributor Clarity in the United Kingdom. He was able to grow revenues of over $30 million in 4 years before leaving to take senior management roles for international Security and Networking companies. Since 2009, Morgan has worked as a Sales Director for Computerlinks and Arrow ECS in Dubai.

“After over 20 years of success with major distributors throughout the Middle East, I am very excited to be launching Progress Distribution.” explains Tim Martin. “We will provide resellers with the support they need to grow their business in the region.”

Together, the Progress Distribution team will act as an alternative to the region’s typical distributors. Instead of focusing solely on fulfillment and reactive business, Progress Distribution thoroughly engages with their partners. They pride themselves in understanding each business they work with and are able to create demand with new technologies and profitable vendors.

Despite the company's recent launch, Progress Distribution is already working with a number of innovative vendors including Censornet, Xangati, Plixer, and AVG. In the upcoming weeks, the company plans on announcing other major vendors who will be joining the portfolio throughout the next year.
