Toshiba Information Systems - PC Division


Toshiba Information Systems (UK) Ltd is the UK's market leader for portable PC's holding over a third of the market share. Formed in 1986, the company has its headquarters in Weybridge, Surrey UK, with warehousing and operations facilities in Sunbury.


John Hill, General Manager of Corporate Marketing at Toshiba states: ''The BT Global Challenge is all about helping ordinary people do extraordinary things. Toshiba's pioneering technology liberates individuals to achieve their goals wherever they are. Being associated with such a significant event not only allows us to put our technology to practical use, but is an ideal vehicle to associate Toshiba with global communications.''


''The Toshiba Wave Warrior will be our major corporate sponsorship over the next couple of years. We have a long history of associations with sports that take human endeavour to the limit including a yacht in the 1993/94 Whitbread.''


Toshiba is the official supplier of portable PC's to the race. Each boat will be equipped with two Toshiba notebooks, T2130Ct and the T2100 models.
