5. UK’s top channel partners defy expectations

When? January
At £29.2bn, the collective revenues of the UK’s top 250 resellers and MSPs are roughly in line with the GDP of Latvia.
That was one of the more random facts from Oxygen 250 2025, our annual rundown of the UK’s top channel partners by top line.
From £1bn-plus giants like Computacenter and Softcat, to the sub-£50m specialists that tail the report, these 250 firms represent a formidable front line between vendors and the end-user IT budgets they are so eager to unlock.
They defied the straitened backdrop by growing collective sales 12.6% to £29.2bn in their latest years.
Only last month, we tracked down senior leaders from two of its protagonists to discuss the biggest topics that emerged in the report.
Oxygen 250 profiles every single firm in the top 250, and is completely free to view if you’re an IT Channel Oxygen member (which is also free).
