MPS for Ellesmere
Following ‘a variable
experience with another
supplier’, Ellesmere College,
one of Shropshire’s leading
independent co-educational
schools, has awarded Hollis
Office Solutions a contract
to support all printers and
multifunctional devices used
across its campus.
Hollis is providing Ellesmere
College with a fully managed
service, with automated
remote monitoring of more
than 100 print devices on the
school’s IT network, including
the collection of meter
readings from every printer to
ensure accurate billing.
Genuine, original
manufacturer toner and
consumables will be supplied
throughout the term of the
contract, with delivery on
a ‘just in time’ basis. This
will eliminate the need to
hold spare stock on site and
ensure that print devices
never run out of toner.

ran a four-week advertising
campaign promoting the
company’s high levels of
customer service to travellers
using Waterloo, Kings Cross
and Liverpool Street railway
stations. The company has an

Managing director Rob

ever advertising campaign
and we feel the time is right

of customer service to

A monster success
Office technology sales and
service provider Midshire
is increasing awareness of
its hosted desktop solution
Desktop Monster with vibrant
new car graphics featuring
the brand’s purple monster
mascot Brian.
Group Marketing Manager
Adrienne Topping said: “Brian
has become a big character for
the Desktop Monster brand,
and wherever possible we want
to promote the product and
brand in a fun way. We take our
mascot to all important events
and people usually queue up
to meet him and have a selfie.
They love him! We’re over the
moon with the new Desktop
Monster car graphics and
I’m sure there will be more
vehicles to follow.”
The Desktop Monster
car is the latest addition to
Midshire’s 17-strong fleet of
branded delivery vehicles,
consisting of Mercedes
Sprinter vans, smaller caddy
vans and VW Polos.
Desktop Monster, which
enables users to access
desktop files stored in a UK
data centre, from anywhere
in the world and from any
device, was named ‘Best
Technology Product’ at the
Talk of Manchester Awards in
December 2016.
Football trophy
Using the latest in toner-
based transfer technology,
TheMagicTouch has
developed a new process to
personalise footballs, rugby
balls and other spheres with
full colour logos and images.
Named ‘Best Image
Transfer Product’ at Trophex
2017, TMT’s process is
faster and more colourful
than traditional pad or screen
printing techniques, which
involve a degree of set-up and
are not suitable for full colour
or photographic images.
The combination of a
ProSeries Oki 7411WT
white-toner printer and CPM
transfer paper enables full
colour images and logos to
be applied to almost any type
of ball using a modified ball-
shaped platen manufactured
by press manufacturer
A.Adkins.
The process is quick, easy
and very durable, with the cost
per printed panel at less than
10p per image.
TMT Managing Director
Jim Nicol said: “We recently
produced some personalised
balls for a local football club
decorated with 18 team
member photos, which was
very well received and offers
a great business opportunity
for those in the awards
and recognition market to
develop.”
Stocksigns, a leading sign
maker and digital printer,
is urging businesses to
make sure their signage is
accurate, compliant and
up-to-date, following the
release of figures by the
Health and Safety Executive
(HSE) showing that between
1 April 2015 and 31 March
2016 there were more than
621,000 work-related injuries
and 144 fatalities.
Managing Director Danny
Adamson said: “Accidents are
unpredictable. However, there
is a lot that can be done to
prevent them happening in
the first place. One of the key
ways of keeping people safe in
any environment is to use the
correct signage.”
He points out that since
the European safety signs
directive was implemented
through the Health and Safety
(Safety Signs and Signals
Regulations) Act in 1996 the
number of fatal work-related
injuries has been in decline.
This requires employers to
provide specific safety signs
whenever there is a risk that
has not been avoided or
controlled by other means.
“The introduction of Safety
Signs and Signals Regulations
protects workers and members
of the public. Since then the
rate of fatal injury has reduced
by over 50%. HSE figures
show that in 1996 there were
0.9 fatal injuries per every
100,000 workers; today that
figure is 0.4,” he said.
Adamson added: “There
is a correlation between the
introduction of safety signage
and a reduction in the number
of accidents. The first step of
ensuring safety for everyone
is being able to alert them to
danger and having compliant
signage in place.”
Stocksigns has a range
of signs available for all
situations. All are HSSA (Health
and Safety Sign Association)
assured and are fully compliant
with ISO 7010, the UK standard
for safety signs.
It is currently donating
20p for every sign sold to the
Brighter Beginnings appeal.
Part of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Accidents’
centenary celebrations, The
Brighter Beginnings campaign
is raising funds to provide
information packs for new
parents.
Be compliant, warns Stocksigns
