WAN-connect B2B Padel Trophy 2025 – wat een editie!

B2B Padel Trophy champions 2025
Pieter Parez (Rexel) & Stijn De Cauwer (Heineken Group) – congratulations on your impressive victory!

We also took the opportunity to honor some of our partners and customers:

✨ 1000 Days Uptime Award – Eurofiber Belgium
 Uptime is key at WAN-connect. Thanks to your fully redundant NNI connection to our backbone network, we have been online continuously for more than 1000 days.

Startup of the Year Award – Doo-IT
 Less than a year in business, but orders are pouring in. Talent galore!

Connect-Checker Award – X2com Belgium
You have already performed more than 1200 unique address checks via our portal. (Soon also available on app!)

First Line of the Year Award – IT Provider, Powered by AXI
 Your strong support makes it clear that service comes first. WAN-connect certainly notices this in our current collaboration.

Integrator of the Year – VanRoey
Our collaboration is going well with several large end customers, each with more than 50 sites. We strengthen each other in the market because we only offer connectivity and you turn it into a total solution tailored to the customer.

Company of the Year – Schoenen Torfs
We are proud to serve such an innovative company. The fact that they signed up for 5 years for more than 80 sites was one reason, but above all, the migration of the sites went very smoothly because Torfs also has a top IT team that knows what they are doing.

Personality of the Year – Jan Vermeiren desco
Your knowledge, drive, and friendliness are qualities that many admire. We all love you here at WAN-connect.

Data Center Service Company of the Year – LCL Data Centers
More than 3 years of 0% downtime on our racks. Absolute top quality!

Security Company of the Year – Office-IT bv
This could also have gone to our strong security partners such as Cato Networks or AXS Guard. We blend in very well with that type of company. However, this year's award goes to Office-IT, as a very large end customer clearly indicated that, thanks to Office-IT's excellent security solution, they have now decided to run virtually all their IT services through them. 

✨ Last but not least: our very first STAN award! ✨
This award stands for drive and loving collaboration with colleagues.
It goes without saying that the first one goes to Stan himself. From now on, he will be shining in a brand-new STAN-connect outfit as a reward!

Congratulations also to Niels Mortelmans for motivating and supporting his son to master the trade.

Thank you to all players, suppliers, partners, and customers—together strong in connectivity!
