Having gained 7 years retail sales experience, Justin was keen to move into the business to business market place and he felt Leemic could offer him that opportunity.

His primary roll will be to develop new business in the Central Region.

Leemic Director Sandy Muir added; “as a business we need people who buy into the vision and are prepared to put the time into help building it, Justin fits the bill and I am sure he will have a very successful tenure here at Leemic Scotland.

The Sharp MX-2610 has been delivered to the Hong Kong operation of Chadderton based company Ultimate Products.

This installation in conjunction with Sharp Direct operation in Hong Kong, demonstrates Leemic’s ability to support UK based organisations with over seas operations.

This ensures centrally supported IT functions have the same controls across the international network. The universal control panal also ensures a smooth transition for users that move between offices improving work-flow and integration.

Having served the needs of the local community for over 150 years Bromleys LLP are the largest law firm in the borough and have a satellite office in Manchester.

Graham Roberts of Bromleys LLP commented; Due to problems with a previous supplier we undertook an extensive look at not only the equipment available, but the suppliers to support it. After all the photocopier/printer is an integral part of any law firm.

Following meetings with many potential providers offering a variety of manufacturers products, we elected to appoint Leemic as our partner. The professional industry knowledge demonstrated by Nick Pendlebury during our negotiations meant we were confident that the correct solution had been proposed to cater for current and potential need of an expanding firm.

This decision has been ratified by reappointing Leemic. Obviously in the current financial climate we again went to the open market to test market conditions and the proposal we received provided good value for money, along with a proffessional quality service that we have now been accustomed to.

Despite an demanding and complex installation, due to the geographical layout of the offices. The installation was completed efficiently and with the minimal disruption which is crucial to any busy firm. The efficiency and minimal disruption to the installation process was greatly assisted as a result of a good working relationship with Bromleys LLP IT support company.

I would recommend to any professional firm looking for a provider that understands the needs of the busy, provide a high level of support, reliable equipment and value for money, to consider Nick and the team at Leemic.

Since joining the organisation 12 months ago, Sandy has demonstrated his commitment to the company by developing a thriving business in the Falkirk area.

Sandy has a wealth of experience of over 20 years in the photocopier arena which has contributed greatly to the success so far.

 I am sure everyone will wish him very success in his new position.

Despite rather drizzly conditions, all riders where in good spirits with supporters of other clubs including City; Chelsea, United and Oldham joining County fans on this 46.7 mile journey from Edgeley Park to Haig Avenue.

After the “hooter” was sounded by Vernon Bear, the route passed through Cheadle, Wythenshawe, Sale, Old Trafford and Worsley, before the first water stop at the Worsley Marriott Hotel. The second leg saw the riders take to the East Lancs.‘s road, for a gruelling 16 mile stretch. Before taking in the final water stop prior to the last stage to Southport via Ormskirk.

All riders arrived in good time for the game (unfortunately a 5 nil defeat) and good spirits, if not a little sore. This despite some, including Nick adding over 6 miles to their journey due to a unforeseen diversion in Sale.

Nick completed the total journey in 3hrs 39 minutes and to date has raised in excess of £800.00 for this part of the 2012 fundraising campaign.

A massive thank you must go to all those who helped organise this event including Adrian Stores, Dave Roe, Russ Johnson and Sarah Bennett of St Ann’s Hospice.
