Milestone Systems held its largest ever annual UK & Ireland (UKI) Milestone Partner Open Platform Event (MPOP UK) on 3-4 July this year at the Holiday Inn, Stratford upon Avon.
General Manager UK & Ireland, Glenn Fletcher and his team hosted more than 100 of its key integration and distribution partners for the two-day conference which outlined Milestone's continued leadership in the VMS market in the UK & Ireland.
Glenn underlined why Milestone continues to attract and hold onto the best distributor and integration partners in the region: “As well as Milestone's clear product roadmap, partners value our strong and stable UKI team. We put a strong emphasis on building long-term partnerships. This approach continues to pay dividends in a market which is still seeing strong demand but also increased competition.”
