The year that was 2012


What a year for team APC. With two finalist nominations and a win at the East of England Business Champions Awards, a further two finalist nominations at the Colchester Business Awards, the main corporate sponsor for the Essex Countywide Awards and finally, sponsoring the Business Woman of the Year category at the Mid Essex Awards – APC had a busy year on the business awards circuit.

At the East of England Business Champions Awards, Lee Collis, Technical Project Manager, scooped Employee of the Year and Group Sales Director; David Bell was nominated for Business person of the Year. A tremendous achievement for APC’s first year of entering these awards.

APC first established its relationship with the Essex Business Awards when David Bell won Business Man of the Year at the 2011 Mid Essex Awards. Since then APC has gone on to be nominated at further awards throughout 2011 and 2012.

The Countywide Business Awards gave APC the opportunity to raise money for a charity close to its Director David Bell’s heart, The Starlight Foundation. On the night of the awards attendees raised in excess of £2500 for the charity. A tremendous achievement and one that will benefit David’s son’s school friend, Joshua, who suffers with a brain tumour.

2012 also saw APC continue its expansion in South Africa. APC has continued to deliver wireless projects across South Africa including working for renowned wine manufacture, Rupert Wines.

In the latter part of 2012, APC started to expand its operations in to the Middle East, by collaborating with strategic partners in Qatar. The success of the partnerships allowed APC to expand its global network further, by developing a Middle East Business Team, which would continue to raise APC’s profile and secure future projects.

APC also expanded its UK based team with the addition of Nigel Cappleman, as Business Development Manager and Harry Woolmore as a Wireless Engineer. Its UK based team not only plans and deploys UK projects but also travels to the company’s satellite offices to secure new business and work closely with the territory Directors. APC believes this is fundamental to its success, having a global team that interacts and evolves the company with knowledge of all its territories.

Undertaking several high profile projects for household names including the likes of Tiptree Jams, The Harrods Group, Fulham Football Club and Poundland, APC has worked with wireless manufacturers Cambium Networks and Ruckus to deploy wireless networks across the country. 2012 also saw APC secure a wireless project for ‘The Shard’, the tallest building in Western Europe.

2012 really was a great year for APC and we look forward to a successful 2013 ahead.
