Print IT Reseller - issue 114

PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 TECH LIVE is returning to the Business Design Centre, London on 17 September 2024. This must-attend event is designed to bring ICT professionals, mobile vendors and resellers, MFP/printer dealers, and other technology providers together in an informal environment, providing the perfect opportunity to forge new partnerships and build on existing relationships. There’s lots of reasons to exhibit, and attend – find out more on page 22. I really enjoyed speaking with Marianne Chamberlain, Sales Director at Data Direct this month. You can read all about her varied career from working in elderly care, to selling payphones, through to joining Data Direct, (which she says was the high point of the decade), on page 20. Michael Bailey, Chairman at EBM Managed Services is in the spotlight this month in our new for 2024 Industry Insight Q&A, if you’d like to take part, please do get in touch with me. Also in this issue, Emily Thompson, Senior Marketing Executive at Sharp UK, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Gavin Auckland, Managing Director, Parallel Office and Document Solutions, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Archie Whitworth, Dealer Sales Manager, DSales UK.
