LDD Group shortlisted for top industry award

Leeds-based IT reseller LDD Group has been recognised for the quality of its sales team by being shortlisted for a prestigious industry award.

The Horsforth-based business, which has recently launched an IT support division, has been shortlisted in the ‘Best Sales Team’ category in the Computer Reseller News Sales and Marketing awards.

The award recognises the experience and specialist skill sets of the sales team and the number of contracts and new business won in the past year, innovations which have led to success, and ways in which the team added value to vendor partners and customers.

LDD has a nine-strong sales team, headed up by group sales director Mandi Iles and sales manager Jason Darling. Each member of the team is responsible for the management of 20 to 40 accounts, encouraging organic growth of existing clients and bringing in new business.

In 2012, LDD launched its own wholesale telecoms division, which formed part of its ambitious sales growth plans. With the help of its new telecoms offering, the company is predicting that turnover will have hit £30 million in next three years.

Mandi Iles said: “We are thrilled to be shortlisted for the ‘Best Sales Team’ category and to be recognised for our entrepreneurial, yet honest and reliable approach to sales.

“The team prides itself on its strong, long lasting relationships with clients and attributes this to always being available, providing consistent, honest advice and working closely with the client to become part of their organisation.”

The winner of the award will be announced at a ceremony in November 2013.
