New trading name aligns UK and Ireland operations and reflects growing demand for managed security and AI-focused security solutions
Northamber plc today announced that its UK cyber security and infrastructure business will now trade as Renaissance Distribution. The new name aligns the company’s UK cyber operations with Renaissance, Northamber’s established specialist cyber security value-added distributor in Ireland, which has more than two decades of channel development experience. The move creates a unified specialist cyber security technologies brand across the UK and Ireland, reflecting the group’s continued focus on delivering cybersecurity expertise, services and solutions to partners in both markets.
The two businesses already work closely together, sharing some vendors, customers and expertise across the UK and Ireland, making the move a natural evolution of the business. The rebrand reflects the continued expansion of Northamber’s managed services portfolio and growing demand for specialist cybersecurity and AI-focused solutions across the UK and Ireland. The unified Renaissance Distribution brand also creates a stronger platform for vendors seeking to expand their reach across the UK and Ireland through a specialist cybersecurity-focused channel ecosystem.
As organisations navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape, VARs, MSPs and ITSPs are looking for new ways to deliver security services, generate recurring revenue and support customers throughout their cybersecurity journeys. Through its broad portfolio of services and solutions, Renaissance Distribution supports partners looking to develop and expand their cybersecurity practices and service offerings.
“The Renaissance Distribution name better reflects our specialist focus and our ambitions for the future,” said Qasim Bhatti, Sales Director, Renaissance Distribution.
“AI adoption is rapidly accelerating across industries, with nearly 80% of organisations already using AI in at least one business function, creating significant opportunities for the channel.
“As demand for managed security services, AI security and the infrastructure required to support this growth rises, we are investing in the technologies, expertise, and partnerships that enable our partners to succeed. Through initiatives such as NROC, we are helping partners build secure, scalable and resilient AI and cybersecurity practices, enabling them to safely adopt AI and capture its full business value.”
The business will continue to expand its portfolio of leading cybersecurity, infrastructure and AI-focused vendors, helping its partners strengthen cyber resilience, develop recurring revenue streams and deliver greater value to their customers.
For customers and partners, the transition represents a change in trading name only. Existing account management teams, contracts and invoicing arrangements will remain unchanged and continue to operate through Northamber plc.
“We have built a strong reputation in Ireland by helping our partners identify, adopt and grow opportunities in both established and emerging cybersecurity technologies,” said Michael Conway, Director, Renaissance Distribution Ireland. “Bringing our UK and Ireland operations under the Renaissance Distribution brand reflects the close alignment between our businesses and creates a stronger proposition for vendors and partners alike. By combining expertise, strengthening vendor relationships and expanding access to specialist solutions and services, we are better positioned to help partners grow their cybersecurity, managed services and AI practices.”
Renaissance Distribution works with a growing community of value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), IT service providers (ITSPs) and specialist cybersecurity partners across the UK and Ireland. Through technical enablement, marketing support, business development initiatives and managed service programmes, the company helps partners build differentiated cybersecurity practices and unlock new recurring revenue opportunities.
