KONICA Minolta Business Solutions (UK) has awarded Production Print Direct its first formal Production Print Accreditation in the UK.
Production Print Direct is a provider of equipment, software and services to the commercial print, direct mail and print for pay sector. The accreditation recognises the company’s commitment, dedication and investment in selling, servicing, and supporting Konica Minolta’s production print solutions in close partnership with the manufacturer.
Production Print Direct has followed the roadmap of requirements to achieve this distinction, including technical and support staff training and investing in a dedicated Konica Minolta production print showroom at the company’s facility in Burnley.
In conjunction with direct access to and use of Konica Minolta’s client engagement centre in Houghton Regis near Luton, this new facility provides product sales demonstrations and training for Production Print Direct’s customers across the UK.
Mike Ashforth, MD at Production Print Direct, said, “We are thrilled to have attained Konica Minolta Production Print Accreditation, which perfectly cements our already close partnership. Our team has been fully trained by Konica Minolta to ensure that we provide our customers with comprehensive professional service and support, combined with our agility and local availability as a professional independent specialist.”
To ensure its Production Print Accreditation reflects the highest levels of quality, Konica Minolta has created a series of business criteria that require a ‘significant’ commitment from its partners. Cameron Mitchell, channel leader at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, explained, “This accreditation reflects Production Print Direct’s significant effort and investment in knowledge training and support services and has taken a year to complete. This is also genuinely a bi-directional partnership – we also receive invaluable feedback from the Production Print Direct team whilst providing them with full manufacturer support.”
