A short list
We carry few lines and say no often. If we take you on, you get real attention rather than a slot in a catalogue.
Technology Enabler and Integrator
Great technology deserves a route to market.
We sell your product in the UK. We open the doors, run the sale, close the contract and support your new client — and we have the experience to integrate your technology so that it runs alongside your new client's existing architecture.
The route
For vendors
You built it. We'll sell it here.
You have a product that works and customers who prove it. What you don't have is a UK sales team, UK references, UK contracts or anyone to pick up the phone at 9am on a Tuesday. That's the whole job, and it's ours.
Made to land here
Pricing, proposition and materials rebuilt for a UK buyer. What sells in Oslo or Toronto rarely lands unchanged in Birmingham.
Named accounts
Structured outbound, sector campaigns and warm introductions. We hold the relationships, run the process and close.
Live, not licensed
We take it into the customer's estate and make it run alongside what's already there. You keep your roadmap.
First line, UK hours
Onboarding, training, support and renewals. Your customers call us. You only hear from us when it's genuinely yours.
What the buyer ends up with
Your product, running in a UK business.
Sold, contracted, deployed into the systems they already had, and supported from here. That's the whole of what we do.
Deployment
We take it the last mile.
A signature isn't a deployment. Your product has to go into an estate that already exists — a PMS the hotel bought in 2014, an ERP nobody is allowed to touch, a control system with one man who understands it.
We've done that work. We scope what the customer runs, build the interfaces, test them, and get you live. Then we maintain them, because both sides ship upgrades and something always moves.
It means you can sell into the UK without shipping engineers here, and without a customer's incumbent stack becoming your problem.
The shape of it
A hotel group buys mobile key. It goes live against the Opera install they already have — reservations out, entitlements back — with us on the hook for the interface.
The vendor sells a UK deal they couldn't have reached. The hotel gets a system that works on the date we said, at the price we agreed. We take ownership of the project and the delivery.
Portfolio
Small on purpose. Any sector, if it earns its place.
We're not a category specialist. We carry technology that's proven at home, has no route into the UK, and gets better with somebody competent standing behind it.
Vitabeam
Advanced lighting for horticulture, food preservation and wellbeing, deployed into controlled-environment growing and food production.

Gaming · Social · EdTechThe next line
We add a small number of vendors a year. If your product is proven at home and can't get into the UK alone — whatever it does — we should talk.

Two sides, one route
What each side gets.
Enabler
For vendors
One agreement, a working UK presence. A named team selling your product, real sector relationships, UK contracting and compliance, first-line support — and engineers who can get it live on a customer's site.
You keep your product and your roadmap. We build your market.
Talk to us about the UK →Integrator
For buyers
Specialist technology, domestic risk profile. Tested before we carry it, deployed into the systems you already run, and backed by a UK company that's still here at renewal.
The world's best niche technology, without the overseas-supplier gamble.
Tell us what you need →Kognos Group
Independent, and well connected.
TEI is its own company, and most of what it carries has nothing to do with the rest of the group. Where a line does happen to fit alongside its sister businesses, so much the better.
Kognos Energy Ventures
Decentralised renewable energy — solar and battery infrastructure with zero upfront cost.

The channel business — selling world-class technology into the UK, and getting it live.
Start a conversation.
A vendor looking at the UK, or a UK business looking at technology the mainstream channel doesn't carry. Either way, the first step is the same.
