Distributor to supply 80 stores across the UK with a range of accessories from brands including Sennheiser, Integral, House of Marley and Noisehush
Genuine Solutions has struck a lucrative deal with A1 Comms to supply a range of mobile accessories into its 80 retail stores across the UK.
The deal, signed this month, includes headphones, Bluetooth headsets, chargers, batteries and car kits from brands including Sennheiser, Integral, House of Marley and Noisehush.
A1’s current supply deals will not be affected, and are in addition to agreements currently in place with Data Select and Bluechipworld.
Genuine Solutions sales director Alex McBride (pictured) told Mobile News: “This is a massive vote of confidence in Genuine Solutions’ ability to meet the demanding requirements of a major nationwide retailer.”
It is the second accessories supply contract A1 Comms has struck for its retail operation in the past two months after it signed an exclusive deal with Bluechipworld to sell its Kaboodle range of cases, chargers, Bluetooth speakers, car kits and data cables.
A1 Comms Retail Solutions managing director Steve Fraser commented: “Genuine Solutions has an extensive range, catering to many of the main manufacturers, and this partnership allows us to provide a more diverse array of accessories to customers through both our retail stores and our online business.”
Genuine has signed direct accessory distribution deals with a number of major manufacturers in the past 12 months, including Samsung, LG, Alcatel and Kensington.
