As we step into 2026, it’s a great time to reflect on what has been an incredible year for Eclipse Wholesale and to look ahead at what’s to come.
2025 was a standout year for Eclipse Wholesale, as we achieved 26% sales growth, expanded our partner base by 57%, grew the team and hosted our first annual partner event. It was a great year for growth and new opportunities and we’re grateful to our partners, vendors and team for their continued to support.
Towards the end of 2025, ITS launched their new network in Newcastle city centre, opening up exciting new opportunities for customers across the region. This has already generated strong interest and this year we’ll be hitting the ground running, driving momentum by delivering new connections, supporting our partners and helping wider businesses upgrade their connectivity.
To launch the network, we hosted an online event led by our Sales Director, Matthew Begg, and Product Director from ITS, Pete England. This format proved to be successful, allowing us to share information, update our resellers and hold discussions around the project. Building on this success we’ll be hosting more online events throughout 2026, covering topics such as cyber security, mobile and IoT with special guests from our vendors. Keep an eye out for further details soon.
Last year also saw the launch of Channel Corner with James Drake, our short-form video series where James answers a key industry question in just 120 seconds. We’re pleased with the reception already and we will be continuing the series into 2026, with a few special guest appearances from members of the Eclipse team, sharing their own perspective and expertise. If you have a question you’d like us to answer, or if you’d like to catch up on previous episodes, visit: Channel Corner with James Drake.
Following the success of our fundraising efforts in 2025, we’re proud to continue supporting Guide Dogs as our Charity of the Year. Our goal for this year is to raise £5,000, which will help support a guide dog through its raising. We already have a full calendar of fundraising activities planned and can’t wait to share details of our big spring challenge very soon.
2025 also marked the relaunch of our Marketing Hub, alongside regular updates to the Eclipse Self Service Portal. The Marketing Hub continues to grow, with new content, product updates and campaign materials reviewed and updated each month. ESS will also see further enhancements, including additional alt-nets, increased order automation and smoother end-to-end processes.
One of the highlights of last year was our first Partner Event, held at the Live Theatre in Newcastle and sponsored by 8x8, CityFibre, ITS, Tekton Billing and Zen Internet. The day generated lively discussions, excitement about future projects and fantastic feedback.
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, we’re excited to confirm that our second partner event will take place this September, again at the Live Theatre. Plans are already underway to make it bigger and better, with more details to be shared with partners over the coming months.
2026 is shaping up to be another busy and exciting year for Eclipse Wholesale, with new product launches, continued fundraising for Guide Dogs, more events and ongoing growth alongside our partners.
We can’t wait to get started!
