<p><strong>For the third year in a ro</strong><strong>w, PC PAL have been announced </strong><strong>as finalists for the prestigious PCR Awards 2012.</strong></p>
<p>The widest ever range of retailers, resellers, distributors and vendors are now up for an award at the event, which takes place on Thursday March 22nd 2012 at The Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington.</p>
<p>There are 20 awards up for grabs across Frontline, Distribution, Service and Vendor categories, representing all aspects of the PC and IT channel.</p>
<p>“The PCR Awards have fully established themselves as a major event in the PC and IT channel’s calendar,” said Intent Media managing director Stuart Dinsey.</p>
<p>“This year’s event on Thursday March 22nd, at the venue of The Royal Garden Hotel, looks set to be the biggest and best yet. And the lobbying from all sectors of the business was incredibly strong this year, meaning the awards are going to be hard fought.”</p>
<p>PC PAL have been announced as finalists in the &#8216;Service and Support&#8217; category and we&#8217;ll be keeping our fingers crossed!</p>
