During his tenure with Epson UK, Richard has consistently led the charge to firmly establish heat-free printing as a disruptor in the market. He has built a strong team and loyal network of channel partners, who under his leadership and mentorship, have championed the cause to make print more sustainable and increase Epson’s market share in the A3 space. Over and above that, he is also very well‑respected and well-liked across the industry. Epson Europe are lucky to have him. “Being recognised and awarded the 2024 Industry Leader of the Year award was a huge honour and I feel truly blessed and humbled to have received it, particularly when considering the esteemed previous winners. The award is not mine (despite it saying so on the trophy) but that of all the Epson teams, our distribution partners, but most of all our channel reseller friends who have worked with me and Nick Taylor through thick and thin over the last six years to establish Epson heat‑free printing as a credible and sustainable option to the traditional laser print solutions. I am particularly pleased to have been selected this year by the widest, most experienced and industry‑savvy panel of judges ever assembled. Thank you to Michelle, Ethan, Neil, PrintIT Reseller magazine and everyone for this which I am both delighted and moved to have received.” Richard Wells SPECIAL AWARDS CORPORATE AWARDS EOS Manufacturer of the Year Sponsored by PrintIT Reseller Magazine Winner: PCL Direct Group Judges’ verdict: A compelling entry that ticked all the boxes and was extremely well-presented.
