glittering awards ceremony in Barcelona.
TANDBERG are the world’s leading manufacturer of video communications, and awarded West Yorkshire’s Direct Visual the ‘Award for Excellence 2008’
based upon a number of criteria.
As well as looking at the financial aspects of their dealings with TANDBERG, Direct Visual were also judged on their expansion and growth, their
knowledge and qualifications in the support and maintenance of TANDBERG videoconferencing systems, their determination to improving the end-user
experience and their commitment to building a future plan unified with that of TANDBERG.
Direct Visual, founded in 1996 in Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield, have been one of the leading brands in the supply and support of videoconferencing
technology in the UK, and have now been instated as one of the leading lights in Europe too.
Mike Phillips, Direct Visual Chairman, was in Barcelona to collect the award; “It is a vindication to our team that we are doing the right things,
not only when it comes to selling, but also supporting our customers and in ensuring the future of this industry.”
“We have always believed in what we are doing, and it’s nice to see that our partners also believe in what we are trying to achieve. We will continue
to keep doing the right things and ensure that we remain the UK and Western Europe’s number one.”
Direct Visual was selected from an array of TANDBERG partners across Western Europe by a panel of three members of the TANDBERG team; Fredrick Halvorsen,
TANDBERG CEO, Geir Olsen, President EMEA and Wayne Stevens, Director, Partners and Alliances, EMEA.
The award comes having achieved their highest ever turnover, in 2007/08, and having been awarded the biggest videoconferencing contract in the history of
the industry in the UK, a £2 million pound deal to provide every higher and further education establishment in Wales with videoconferencing suites.

10 years, as well as their investment and expertise in visual communications, has allowed them to be successful in winning and effectively delivering a
