As KMS Components celebrates a record start to 2013,PCR talks with sales director Steve Bland to discuss the firm’s success and the driving force behind it...
How has 2013 been for KMS so far?
Amazing. We have just been running through the numbers and it has been a record quarter for us as we run up to our 20th year.
If we continue in the vein that we’ve started in this year, we’ll have another increase of between 20 and 25 per cent on the previous year.
It seems that a lot of firms in consumer electronics are benefiting from healthy demand at the moment?
Yes – we’ve obviously seen some new players in the consumer electronics space and I think it’s certainly giving some of us some great products.
I think it’s a breath of fresh air for everyone really, not just distribution, but for retailers and for everyone else.
We’ve been so focused on selling peripherals and accessories surrounding PCs for so long now and to be honest, the majority of the distribution channel hasn’t been able to enjoy the laptop revolution that has happened within the market over the last few years.
So tablets and other new tech is giving us all a chance to move into new sectors.
