Office technology sales and service provider Midshire has been presented with three end-of-year awards.
Midshire has been named the ‘Fastest Growing Dealer’ in the UK by global technology company Ricoh, who also presented them with the accolade of ‘Top Sales Person’ in the UK for the company.
Midshire has also been named the number one reseller in Europe for sales of the Sharp MX-6500 colour production printing system.
Midshire’s sales director, Kevin Tunley, said: “We are thrilled to be recognised in both categories by Ricoh, a technology giant and the leader in the printing industry.
“We have been working extremely hard at growing our market share and expanding our portfolio of products to meet customer demands has been just one part of that growth.
“Ricoh continually drives change and innovation in the marketplace and our sales team are quick to respond to these developments taking full advantage of our strong partnership and support from Ricoh. Long may it continue.”
Midshire has been partnered with Ricoh for 15 years and is continually named in their top tier of resellers, offering customers the highest possible diversity in product range, competitive pricing as well as specialist training and support.
Amongst many successes during 2015, there were two key contracts that helped to place Midshire at the top of the reseller list.
In August, Midshire won a key contract to supply and service the largest number of Ricoh GelJet printers ever sold in a single agreement in the UK.
Midshire has also been one of the first resellers in the country to supply the revolutionary, five-colour digital press, the Ricoh Pro C7100.
Ricoh sales manager Julian Liddiatt said: “Over the last 12-18 months Midshire has implemented an aggressive marketing and sales strategy which has led to exceptional growth across all areas of the company.
“Its experienced and growing sales team has capitalised on this strategy and continues to break targets month on month.
“I look forward to working with the team at Midshire to ensure that Ricoh remains a strong partner and at the centre of company growth.”
Sharp’s national dealer sales manager Sue Kelly and territory sales manager Joe Hughes presented Midshire with a certificate and award following he announcement at the company’s European conference in Malta.
Sue said: “We’ve been working with Midshire for nearly eight years now and in that time they have grown their market share to become one of the top five Sharp resellers in the UK.
“They were awarded Centre of Excellence status after just two years and their growth continues year on year.
“Midshire have created a thriving operation, with a forward-thinking approach, have a fantastic reputation and many delighted customers in and around the UK.
“We look forward to continuing to grow our partnership with Midshire and congratulate them on this achievement.”
