Kelway hosts HPE’s Meg Whitman at London customer event

Kelway today hosted a London breakfast briefing for its customers attended by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) CEO Meg Whitman, who took part in a Q&A.

Kelway managing director Dan Laws said: “Everyone is excited that Meg has been able to take the time to come to our London HQ. For both our staff and clients it provides an opportunity to gain an insight into HPE’s strategy that wouldn’t have otherwise been possible.”

He added: “As we move closer to our integration with CDW, Meg and HPE have been key in supporting us in building a strategy to best serve our mutual customers.”

Whitman delivered a State of the Nation address on the “significance” of the ongoing Kelway, CDW and Hewlett Packard Enterprise partnership.

Kelway is HP’s second largest reseller partner in the UK. In August 2015, US-based CDW completed its acquisition of Kelway.

Kelway CEO Phil Doye said: “It was great to get a strategic update on Hewlett Packard Enterprise, alongside some very helpful market insight. The Q&A was a rare opportunity for our customers to address a range of topics that are relevant to their businesses directly with Meg.”
