TD SYNNEX adds Eaton’s portfolio of EV chargers
TD SYNNEX is giving partners the opportunity to move into an adjacent market that offers new income and value-added potential while enabling their end customers to encourage the use of greener transport options, by providing partners with access to Eaton’s portfolio of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The EV charging solutions are being made available through an extension of TD SYNNEX’s existing partnership with Eaton. TD SYNNEX is a distributor of Eaton’s uninterruptible power supplies, surge protectors and power and connectivity portfolio in the UK. “TD SYNNEX wants to encourage more partners to explore the potential of providing solutions that enable end customers to adopt more sustainable practices,” said James Reed, managing
director – Endpoint Solutions, UK and Ireland, TD SYNNEX. “For MSPs and partners that offer integration services, and those who want to help customers move towards their sustainability goals, EV chargers offer really good potential. When the opportunity to offer Eaton’s EV charging products surfaced, we were keen to add them to our portfolio. Many end customers looking to make EV charging available on-location, are likely to turn to their trusted provider of managed services or IT systems for advice. For partners, the ability to provide and install EV chargers could be a good opportunity to add value and generate additional revenues.” The Eaton EV charger solutions are available from TD SYNNEX now. On- boarding and training on the products and their installation, along with sales and technical support are available to partners.
British businesses fight back against productivity slump
British businesses are fighting back against the UK’s productivity slump, with 41% prioritising employee productivity in 2025, compared to 36% in Europe, according to data from Kinly. The Trusted Connections 2025 research report, which surveyed 425 enterprise AV professionals working in the UK, Germany, Nordics, and the Netherlands, highlights an urgent need for UK businesses to modernise their technology and support employee wellbeing to overcome the productivity slump. It found 31% of UK organisations are investing in replacing legacy technology, falling behind European counterparts such as Germany (36%) and the Netherlands (44%). This comes at a time when outdated AV technology is increasingly damaging productivity in remote work, with 62% of UK respondents citing it as a challenge. Budget cuts are also intensifying the problem as 55% of UK enterprises surveyed
said they’re operating with reduced funding in 2025, significantly higher than Germany, where only 31% of respondents cited budget constraints as a challenge. Beyond technology, a lack of focus on employee wellbeing is further compounding the UK’s productivity crisis. Just 26% of UK businesses are prioritising employee wellbeing, behind the average of 29%, and significantly lower than countries like the Nordics (38%). This is despite evidence that happier, healthier employees are more engaged and productive. “The UK’s productivity crisis is no longer just a business problem – it’s a national economic emergency,” said Tom Martin, CEO of Kinly. “The companies that invest in both modern technology and workplace wellbeing will be the ones that thrive in this new economy. Productivity isn’t just about working harder – it’s about working smarter, and right now, too many UK businesses are missing that opportunity.”
