Strong and loyal relationships are what makes us happier and more successful. And it’s so important to show our appreciation.
Not only on Valentine’s Day – and not only for the people in our social lives.
At SoluTech we’re definitely feeling the love right now……..
We may not be going quite as far as sending schmaltzy cards, but our heartfelt respect and admiration most definitely goes out to two of our longest and most loyal partners in the industry, Sharp and Lexmark.
The photocopier brands SoluTech MD Alex Burgess fell for after setting up the company in Hull 18 years ago have always been the best in our eyes.
They’re ultra-smart, hard-working trend-setters on whom we know we can always rely. That’s why we supply them to our customers in SMEs and larger businesses in a wide range of industry sectors across the UK.
We’re sending big love – and huge congratulations – to both brands for officially being deemed the best in the world at the industry’s ‘Oscars’, the Buyers Lab Industry Awards last month.
These awards really count.
Buyers Lab Industry (BLI) is the world’s leading independent evaluator of document-imaging hardware, software, and services.
What started out as a consumer publication about office equipment 50 years ago is now an utterly respected source of unbiased and reliable information and test data.
After rigorous laboratory evaluations, last month Sharp got the copier crown – the company was declared the winner of the 2019 Copier MFP Line of the Year annual award.
In addition, a number of Sharp models won ‘Pick Awards’ for outstanding performance.
Buyers Lab Picks are hard-earned. They are based on rigorous testing for durability, usability, image quality, and value – the things that really matter to the people who use copiers and printers in their offices and factories day in, day out.
Each product which passes a lab test earns a Recommended or Highly Recommended seal and a Certificate of Reliability, and THE most impressive devices are awarded the title of Buyers Lab Pick.
“Sharp’s copier MFPs have long been known for their quality, innovation, and ease of use, and its current line holds up to that standard,” said George Mikolay, of Keypoint Intelligence, the end-to-end solutions and services brand built upon two great companies, Buyers Lab and InfoTrends. “In addition to setting the bar for usability, overall reliability was tremendous throughout the line.”
The night was also golden for Lexmark, SoluTech’s chosen specialist brand for A4 printing.
Lexmark won BLI’s prestigious 2019 Printer/MFP Line of the Year award and a clutch of Picks.
“From small office to enterprise environments, Lexmark has a printer or MFP designed to meet the complex needs, and budget, of the modern workplace,” said Marlene Orr, of Keypoint Intelligence.
“Lexmark devices are built for excellent reliability and impressive user-friendliness, featuring an intuitive design with smart technology that can help simplify even the most complicated workflows.”
So there you have it – you don’t just have to take our word. It’s official… SoluTech, the Humber region’s photocopier expert, has the world’s best manufacturers of printers and copiers ready and waiting for you.
We’re more than happy to share the love.
