Leeds-based CST Distribution, the Acer Group Altos arm of CST Group Ltd has reported booming sales figures for the first quarter of 1993. January sales to UK resellers rose 30% to UKP290,000 and February saw a record UKP350,000 turnover. This was equalled in March with a gain of 45% on the same month last year. According to CST marketing director Mike Briercliffe, these figures reflect the recent success of value added resellers – both in vertical legal and insurance markets as well as those delivering more general business applications. Another influence is the year old, mid-range 4500 system which has generated most of the sales; new configurations of the system are due late summer according to Mr Briercliffe. CST now has a joint marketing agreement with Norwich, Norfolk-based Altos specialist Foundation Systems Ltd. Other recent signings include Nottinghamshire-based Systems Development Consultants Ltd, Select Business Systems Ltd of Dundee, Scotland, York Computers Ltd and Leeds-based LSI Computers Ltd.
