HSC has been named O2's Business Distributor for the second quarter of 2010.

David Plumb, Head of SME Sales at O2, commented: "Each quarter there has been a constant improvement by the HSC team on mobile performance which has been underpinned by a great service. I know HSC are also working closely with RIM on BlackBerry sales, and they are set to achieve a record in Q3.

"But it is not just mobile that is seeing traction, as the HSC team are showing real leadership on joined up communications and landline connections as well. It was a really well rounded performance from a distributor that has grown its business with O2 by 57% when comparing H1 2009 with H1 2010."

Bob Sweetlove, Business Manager at HSC, stated: "This demonstrates HSC is capable of performing to the highest standards. We also had a great first half of 2010 on O2 BlackBerry. Sales of O2 BlackBerry's were up in the first half of 2010 by 140% on the same period last year, through a combination of focus and support for the channel by HSC, with the added benefit of HSC's Mauritius incentive. This has been a contributory factor to HSC's strong O2 mobile volume in the second quarter of this year."
