PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 Following on from the big reveal of the 2023 PrintIT Award winners last issue, we asked the worthy recipients what being recognised with a PrintIT Award means to them – you can find out on page 39. There’s also a recap of the PrintIT Awards event which took place on December 5 at the Royal Lancaster, London – see page 22. It really was a night to remember and I for one, am already counting down until the 2024 edition! We introduced a ‘decade in print’ Q&A this time last year, a feature designed to celebrate the tenth anniversary year of PrintIT Reseller magazine. The original plan was to run it throughout 2023, but it’s been so popular that we’ve decided to keep it going. In this issue, David Thompson, Regional Sales Manager at Kofax shares his experiences over the past decade, what he’s learned, and the highs and the lows of our unique and challenging industry. Also in this issue, Krystol Slocombe, UK Field Marketing Manager at Lexmark, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Ian Rudder, Managing Director, Vir2ue, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Caitlyn Bloor, Channel Marketing Executive, Brother UK.
