Arrow Electronics has been awarded Engage Preferred Services Partner (EPSP) status by Fortinet, becoming the first organisation in the UK and the first distributor in EMEA to receive the accreditation.

The invite-only programme recognises Arrow’s capabilities to deliver professional services on behalf of Fortinet, supporting channel partners and their customers with the deployment and maintenance of Fortinet security solutions. It reinforces Arrow’s commitment to excellence in cybersecurity and its deep investment in technical services and support.

The EPSP programme recognises channel partners with the skills and experience to deliver services in line with Fortinet’s standards. Accredited channel partners work alongside Fortinet’s own teams to provide consistent, high-quality support across customer environments.

Anthony Dobson, regional director, UK & Ireland of Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business, said, “We are pleased to be the first in the UK and the first distributor in EMEA to achieve EPSP status. This validates the depth of our technical capability and service quality, and it’s an important milestone in the development of our cybersecurity services. For our channel partners, it means that Arrow can now directly deliver Fortinet-aligned professional services to help them address customer challenges more efficiently and at greater scale.”

As an EPSP, Arrow will work in close collaboration with Fortinet’s Professional Services team and gain access to specialised training and tools to support security implementation projects. The new status enables Arrow to play a more active role in service delivery and offer channel partners greater flexibility in how they engage with customers.

David Park, channel director UK & Ireland, from Fortinet said, “Arrow has shown the capability and commitment required to meet the EPSP standard. Their technical expertise and service quality make them a valuable channel partner in helping deliver consistent outcomes for customers.”
