A LEADING European manufacturer of electrical connectors has named a Fenland company as its broadline distributor of the year.

Anglia, based in Wisbech, has been appointed as HARTING Ltd’s 2011 Broadline Distributor of the Year because of its high levels of customer service and technical support.

Jane Bacon, electronic distribution manager for HARTING, said: “This award is in recognition of the efforts of the whole team at Anglia.

“The UK electronics market in 2011 has offered strong growth opportunities coupled with lead-time challenges, and Anglia’s focus on high levels of customer service, technical support and a willingness to commit to stock has enabled them to maximise the opportunities on offer.”
