The Softcat News Team
This award celebrates our commitment to delivering strong customer outcomes through our security expertise and recognises the successful adoption of Cisco Security solutions across our customer base. It follows our global award win last year and continues a fantastic run of recognition for the team.
Softcat received this award at the Cisco Partner Summit 2026 in Vancouver. Graham Charlton, Richard Wynn Griffith and Ben Bains represented Softcat at the ceremony and accepted the award on behalf of the entire team.
