For the second year in succession, ATI has awarded Flashpoint a gong for being its top UK distributor. It's only three years since Flashpoint signed up with ATI, making the achievement that much more noteworthy. The distributor's managing director, Sukh Rayat, said: "ATI is a demanding franchisee in that they always expect us to match their extremely high levels of investment in this market. Exceeding their expectations will continue to be the key to our success." Good news for Flashpoint, undoubtedly, but with ATI hit by supply problems in the wake of the Taiwan earthquake, its distributors could be facing a product drought. The expected six week delay in getting kit to market is likely to hit ATI's distributors hardest, with major OEMs likely to get priority. ®
