CDW UK & International secures triple award win at the Cisco Partner Summit

We’re pleased to announce further recognition in our long-standing relationship with Cisco, achieving three multinational awards, one of which our first global award, at the October 2026 Cisco Partner Summit.   

Our performance and customer impact was recognised across both the UK&I and EMEA region, with UK&I SMB & Mid-Market Partner of the Year and EMEA SMB and Mid-Market Partner of the Year, respectively. These significant accolades recognise our expertise when it comes to supporting small and mid-sized organisations unlock secure, innovative networking capabilities with Cisco solutions.   

Along with these accolades, CDW UK & International took a third distinction home, achieving global recognition with the Global SMB and Mid-Market Partner of the Year. This is the first global award we've secured, and a significant recognition, reflecting our international impact, innovative delivery and commitment to delivering substantial business and customer outcomes with Cisco at an ever-evolving scale.   

Winning the three awards, followed by our business wide achievement of the Cisco Secure Networking Specialisation this past September, reflects the continued strength and sustained momentum of our partnership with Cisco. The Cisco-certified professionals across our organisation bring strong expertise to customers around the globe, supporting them to maximise the value of their technology investments.  

“Congratulations to CDW UK & International on being named Cisco’s SMB & Mid-Market Global Partner of the Year. What stands out is their programmatic approach to scaling across the full breadth of SMB and Mid-Market — building packaged solutions in areas like Secure Networking, proactively engaging customers who are due a technology refresh, and staying focused on high-value customer outcomes by bringing the power of the full Cisco portfolio to every engagement. It’s a model of partnership at its best, and a well-deserved recognition for the whole CDW team.”
