Exceptional service and technical support set Anglia apart, providing the basis for stable and strong customer relationships.”
He continued: “With no outside investors, we have more freedom to make long term decisions, and to partner with our customers to create success for them – which is also success for us. We have outgrown the market for the last ten years and are confident that we can maintain that growth to reach £100 million by the time we’re 50.”
Founded by Anglia president, Bill Ingram in 1972, Anglia is now the UK’s largest privately owned component distributor with an on-target turnover of £60.8 million in 2017.
