The new RA kit was appalling when I last saw it, although I concede the SGs are pretty good.

However, I’ve seen them use some pretty dodgy tactics in accounts before, squeezing out a small reseller by not giving them any help in a huge account, then putting their own preferred reseller in place for example.

I didn’t like working with them after that, and probably never will again after this!
