Pastel Channel Awards

The 2008 Sofline Pastel Channel Partner Awards saw no less than 16 channel partners receiving awards for outstanding work during the year.

Held at Summer Place, Sandton late last year, Softline Pastel recognised the achievements of the exceptional performers and also acknowledged the role of all its partners. The winners in the various categories were determined by means of a points system based on the rand value of sales, the number of customers signed up for Pastel Cover, years of loyalty to Pastel, and attendance at Pastel roadshows.

Channel winners were awarded by region to ensure that smaller markets were not overshadowed by those in larger commercial hubs.
