Vector to provide direct sales and support in UK

Accutest, current UK distributor for Vector Tools, MD Ken Scott said "We fully understand the increasing demands of customers can only be met by a UK based manufacturer. To enable consistency of support for our existing customers we felt it was right to fully support this decision. This has also coincided with Accutest's introduction of a revolutionary Telematics and Remote Diagnostics solution for the automotive sector as the focus of the company going forward jointly with our established and growing engineering and consultancy services.. We will however continue to assist our current customers and Vector in this transition period and for the future. We look forward to a continued good working relationship and to ensuring our current and past customers are fully supported."

Thomas Beck, MD for Vector GB states "As the globalisation of customers gathers pace, their need for increased support, and access to an increasingly complex development environment, means that we felt we needed to raise our level of interaction with customers to provide the best level of support. We therefore decided that we needed to set up our own sales and support network for our existing and future customers in the UK."

"This also meant that we needed the support of our long standing distributor, Accutest, to facilitate a smooth transition. We are grateful to Accutest for their understanding and help."

To further increase and assure ongoing customer support Ray Wrynne, currently Commercial Director of Accutest will become Sales Director of Vector GB from January 1^st 2009. "I am looking forward to introducing Vector's total capability to the UK and continuing the exceptional level of support already enjoyed by our customers." stated Ray Wrynne. "The support of Accutest has enabled a smooth changeover to be instigated and I am confident that our ongoing relationship will assure existing and future customers of the best possible level of attention."
