As a team we work to create valuable assets, thought leadership and educational content that help our customers solve their challenges. Our Clean Air Day campaign was a real example of just that, delivering over 100 inbound opportunities whilst providing high value resources to schools and businesses across the UK.” Adrienne Topping, Head of Marketing Communications The rise of cyber As Sharp entered the millennium it launched its first security-certified MFP to achieve Common Criteria Certification, helping customers defend themselves against emerging cybercrimes. Coupled with security, innovation remained high on the agenda. Sharp introduced the 10.1-inch LCD touchscreen on MFPs, allowing users to command print previews and change document page orders. In 2016, Sharp’s commitment to device security and data protection continued with the MX-6070N – the first MFP to achieve HCD-PP Certification. Powered by people Sharp UK’s expertise and recent success is fundamentally powered by people. Over 110 years in business and through acquisitions, it has built an innovative and experienced workforce, that drive transformation. Teams combine both experience and young talent to accelerate growth, efficiency, and productivity. Now 700 strong, Sharp UK’s workforce covers a large proportion of the country to deliver exceptional service to both customers and dealer partners. The future is now After 110 years of ground-breaking designs, Sharp continues to release products that set the standard in making technology easy. The BP-Range includes the latest colour and monochrome MFPs released by Sharp, which contain technologies cultivated over 50 years and are the first MFP range to have an embedded Microsoft Teams connector. While industry-first innovations are still weaved into its latest generation MFPs, unsurprisingly Sharp’s portfolio and objectives look a lot different than 110 years ago. Sharp UK has built out a complete portfolio of products, services, solutions, and a multi-award winning partner programme. An industry leader, Sharp UK recognises that the tech landscape has become far from simple; the workplace has changed and therefore so too has the technology needed to support it. That’s why Sharp UK is committed to continuously evolving in order to help its customers and dealer partners to grow their organisations through forwardthinking Sharp-powered technology.
