PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 Don’t let the opportunity to enter the PrintIT Awards 2024 pass you by – the deadline to submit your entries is fast approaching – 5pm on July 19. For a reminder of the 2024 categories and an overview of the key entry criteria for each award, please see page 22. It’s definitely event season. The first of four Golf Society meetings this year took place at the Cheshire Course, Carden Park Golf Resort on May 9 and the second round at Olton Golf Club on June 27. Paul Johnson reports on the inaugural outing – page 40. Vision held its annual conference last month and announced bold plans to double revenue in five years. Sales and Marketing Director Martin Randall explains more on page 29. Also this month, PrintIT Reseller attended the Vantage Online User Conference which came hot on the heels of a wide-ranging reorganisation across Asolvi which saw the company move away from regional operating companies to product focused business units, a series of internal promotions, and the news that Tony Milford was returning as Managing Director of Vantage Online – page 39. Also in this issue, Liz Budd, Head of Marketing at First Copy, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with George Baker, Managing Director, KRL Group Ltd, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Andrew Paczy-Smith, Product Manager, Exertis IT.
