The Sun Team here at Repton wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New year.

Repton continues to go from strength to strength and have just finished our first quarter of our new financial year with a record quarter. Both Revenue and Gross Margin are ahead of plan and gives us a good base for meeting our plan for the year.

Our customers continue to trust us to deliver the very best technology, backed up by our excellent technical resources and high levels of customer care. Add to this our Chief Technical Architects (CTAs) we deliver solutions to technical issues based on Storage, Virtualisation and Data Security.

We have two new team members who joined us just before Christmas that I would like to introduce. Gurpeet Gill, G to his friends, and Graham De Fraine have joined us as Internal Sales Executives and who support our customers from the office. If you need assistance then please contact them to discuss your specific needs.
