Bentley Walker Ltd
Bentley Walker is one of Europe's most popular resellers of satellite broadband equipment. Not only does it supply and install equipment, it also has a large number of subscribers to its own satellite internet networks which were established in 1999. Offering the complete package to customers is labour-intensive, but it allows for an unparalleled level of service. Bentley Walker has also designed a myriad of customer-friendly alternatives to deal with the issues that might arise from the provision of satellite internet and strives to be a company that first-and-foremost meets the needs of the user.
Bentley Walker is a family-run business based on Hayling Island on the South Coast of England. It was founded in 1947 and recently celebrated its 75th year of trading. The company began by selling electronic and radio equipment then, in the 1980s, branched out into the provision and installation of satellite television with a focus on the Middle East. Bentley Walker was among the first companies to provide satellite broadband services when the technology was launched in Europe in 1999. The quick uptake of the latest technology and a focus on customer service has taken this company from humble beginnings to global success. They are renowned, both locally and globally, for their expert opinion and excellent service. The combination of these two things has remained key to their continuing growth over the years.
2012 saw the launch of Bentley Walker's own exclusive Ka-band service, Freedomsat. Freedomsat brings all the speed and coverage advantages of Ka-band to users across Africa and the Middle East. Through trusted resellers and distribution partners across the region, Bentley Walker is working to deliver a new standard of internet access to previously under-served regions. These days, Freedomsat is now the brand name for all Bentley Walker broadband services spanning fibre, 4G-LTE and satellite technologies.
Bentley Walker is always quick off the mark; they are known by suppliers and customers alike for their trend-setting uptake of new technology. The company still sells electronic goods through a retail shop based in the original location on Hayling Island, but entrepreneurialism has propelled their business to the front of a highly competitive, worldwide market. Commentators have described Bentley Walker as the company that other resellers would like to be, or beat, and the most attractive partner for any wholesaler today.
Bentley Walker has a wealth of experience trading in the Middle East and a high proportion of its new business comes from that area. Despite difficult trading conditions during the global recession, Bentley Walker has remained at the forefront of the industry. It has now expanded to focus on Africa and boasts an excellent customer base in Libya. Thanks to business partners and resellers across the world, the company has almost complete global coverage. All partners must undertake training courses to ensure that they meet the high standards that this industry requires. Many people have benefitted from the global availability of Bentley Walker's services, particularly remote communities, and military personnel on active service.
