Print IT Reseller - issue 123

PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 COMMENT The 2024 PrintIT Awards is almost SOLD OUT. If you’d like to grab one of the last remaining seats call Ethan or Neil on 01732 759725. See page 22 for one final look at the shortlists and I look forward to revealing the winners and celebrating your successes on December 3. This issue features my favourite Vox Pop of the year – Print Predictions. Part one points to a pivotal year for the print industry, as it continues to develop and evolve in response to changing market demands. Commons threads include technological advancements, sustainability concerns, and changing business models, along with the need to engage with customers transparently about print data as a necessary strategy to protect and grow revenues. More to follow in the next two issues. Also in this issue, Angela Stonebridge, Technical Support Analyst 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 Warren Colby, Managing Director, Agilico Workplace Technologies, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Josh Attwood, Junior IT Engineer, Elmdale IT Services (part of the Elmdale Group).
