Spreading far and wide

Looking back, it seems hard to believe that Syndico has been up and running only since May 2015. Since then it has grown to become a business that is on target to achieve a turnover of around £8m for the current trading year and was recognised with the Hytera Diamond Award last year as the supplier’s number-one distributor in just its third year of trading.

But how did it all begin? “It started with my departure from another distribution business,” says Wilson. “Shortly afterwards, I was introduced to Hytera UK’s managing director. By that point they had been looking for a distribution partner for about six months or a year because they had more interest from lots of resellers in the UK than they could handle by themselves.

“I didn’t really know what I was going to do at the time but after five or six meetings, they said that if I could raise the funding to start a distribution business and place some stock orders with them, they’d be happy to make me Hytera’s official UK distributor.
