Today we’re super proud to be celebrating our 30th anniversary

We’ve come a long way; from selling PCs out of a High Wycombe shed in 1993 to delivering transformative solutions to a global customer base; and we’ve maintained customer excellence throughout those 30 years by putting our people at the heart of our strategy.

We’ll be celebrating today with special events, guests, competitions and charitable donations to mark the occasion; and we’re already looking forward to what’s coming for Softcat over the next ten years.

"The story of Softcat is remarkable, from humble beginnings with phone calls out of a garden shed to today’s position as the UK’s leading value-added reseller with offices all over the country. This is an incredible milestone, and if there’s one thing that has stayed key to us all this time, it would be the unique culture we have. The culture is one where we are ferociously people- and customer-led and it is core to our performance, both in our business and local communities we’re in. I would like to thank not only our customers, service partners and vendors for trusting in us, but every single Softcat employee over the entire history of the Company for the amazing dedication and commitment they have given throughout to get us to this leadership ranking each and every day." Graeme Watt, CEO of Softcat.

"The market and industry that we operate in is, in my view, the most exciting place to be right now and for many years to come. My hope is that I can play a key part in what will be a massive team effort to make Softcat’s as bright as it possibly can be in the years ahead.” - Graham Charlton, CFO and next CEO of Softcat.
