Hundreds of visitors from across the industry joined 40+ exhibitors from the worlds of IT, comms, networking, cybersecurity, managed print and circular IT, plus related services like billing and leasing, to network, forge new relationships and develop existing ones. Running alongside the main exhibition was an informal, but informative, seminar programme. We’ve curated some edited highlights from one of the panel discussions focusing on how resellers can build on existing relationships to develop additional sources of revenue – page 39. Kerry Rush, Product Marketing Manager – Hardware and Facilities at Sharp Business Systems 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 Toby Hales, CSO, United Business Group and PITR spent 60 seconds with Nick Taylor, UK & Ireland Office Print Channel Manager, Epson.
