TruMedia Signs Up Exclusive UK Distributor

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Okay stop this now, right now. Suppliers and vendors have been warned (previously). Press releases with uber-superlatives will not be tolerated unless based on 100% fact…

Ian Campbell and Dave Rayman at True Colours are nice enough folks but for them to describe themselves as “the UK’s leading digital signage distributor” is perhaps somewhat an over statement given the likes of RGB, Ingram, Midwich (who actually own True Colours), Westcoast, MicroP and Computer2000 being in the mix so to speak.

True Colours Distribution agrees exclusive UK deal with TruMedia, the leading provider of digital signage measurement solutions
