COLT Names First UK Platinum Partners

They have proven their expertise and unrivalled excellence in the delivery of COLT products and services. We are committed to continue working with them and all our Community partners to deliver the tools and initiatives to support our mutually profitable growth, while ensuring it is as easy as possible for partners to do business with us.”
