Our Story
From DataSolutions to Climb Channel Solutions
DataSolutions, now operating as Climb Channel Solutions , has been a leading value-added distributor in the UK and Ireland since its inception in 1991. Our commitment to excellence and service has made DataSolutions a trusted name in the industry, widely recognised for its outstanding sales and marketing support and its expertise in IT Security, Networking, Digital Workspace, and Hybrid Multi-Cloud solutions.
In October 2023 DataSolutions was acquired by Climb Global Solutions, and as of September 2024, we have rebranded to Climb Channel Solutions.
While our name has changed, our foundational values and dedication to our partners is as strong as ever. We continue to deliver exceptional service and innovative solutions, ensuring that our partners can grow, sell more, and future-proof their businesses.
