Farnell element14 hits right note with Bel
Farnell element14 has been named High Service Distributor of the Year for EMEA by Bel Europe. The award was presented to Farnell element14 at the recent electronica exhibition. It is based on sales growth achieved by the business underpinned by a strong and growing partnership and investment in inventory.
