Gentronics named Storage Repair Specialist 2026

We did it.

Gentronics has been named Storage Repair Specialist at The Storage Awards 2026 — The Storries XXIII — held on Wednesday 18 June at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

It’s the second year running we’ve taken a trophy home from The Storries, following our 2025 win for Storage Broker of the Year. But this one really means a lot. Storage repair is what we actually spend our days doing — and we don’t just get parts in and out. Gentronics are an engineering-led brokerage. NetApp NVRAM cache batteries. IBM and Lenovo controllers. HP Enterprise EVA. Dell EqualLogic. Nexsan. RAID controllers, tape drives, hard disks, server boards.

Recognition from the storage industry itself for the technical work our engineers put in week-in, week-out, means more than we know how to write down.

About The Storage Awards

Now in its 23rd year, The Storage Awards are the leading event in the UK storage industry calendar. Affectionately known as The Storries, the awards recognise excellence across the storage and cloud sector — from product innovation to engineering services, brokerage and channel partners.

The 2026 ceremony — The Storries XXIII — was held at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London on 18 June, with over 300 industry attendees in the room.

Engineering-Led Storage Repair

At Gentronics, we don’t just move boxes. Every repair that leaves our Devizes facility is bench-tested by our in-house engineers, with full audit traceability by serial number. Same-day shipping where stock allows, fixed-price repairs with no T&M billing, and a 12-month return-to-base warranty as standard.

We repair cache batteries, RAID controllers, server boards, tape drives, hard disks and full storage systems across every major OEM:

• NetApp FAS, AFF, ASA and E-Series storage
• IBM Flashsystem and Lenovo Storwize
• HP Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA)
• Dell EqualLogic
• Nexsan E-Series and BEAST

It’s that engineering-led approach to brokerage that the storage community recognised with the 2026 Storage Repair Specialist title.

Thank You

To every customer who voted — thank you. To every partner who’s worked alongside us this year — thank you. To the team at BTC and Storage Magazine for putting on an event that genuinely matters to our industry — thank you. And to the rest of the Repair Specialist category nominees, all of whom run good businesses we’re proud to be measured alongside — thank you.

What’s Next

Back at the bench Monday morning. The cache batteries don’t repair themselves, and there’s plenty of work in the pipeline. But for one weekend at least, we’ll take a moment to enjoy this one.
