Epson UK Ltd has appointed Nick Taylor as the new Head of Sales for its Office Printing division, where he will lead the firm’s mission for converting businesses from laser to heat-free inkjet printing across the UK and Ireland.
With 13 years’ prior experience at different print vendors and resellers, Taylor joined Epson in February 2020 to lead the partner channel within its Office Print sales team. In this role Taylor has been Epson’s chief liaison to the firm’s network of MPS partners, with whom Epson sells heat-free inkjet MFPs indirectly across the UK and Ireland.
Although his tenure at the company has only been four years, Epson said that Taylor has played an integral role in maintaining inkjet deployment during the COVID-19 pandemic, launching Epson’s mid-market (40-60ppm) offering with the WorkForce Enterprise AM-C series, and extending Epson’s business printer warranties by up to eight years, to name a few milestones. Taylor and his team have also led the application of Epson’s Optimisation Tool in the UK and Ireland, allowing resellers to calculate the savings in energy, consumables, time, and cost when their customers convert to heat-free inkjet from laser printing.
In his new role as Head of Sales for Office Printing, Taylor will oversee the entire marketing and sales of Epson’s business inkjet portfolio in the UK and Ireland.
“Having joined Epson just before the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been a rollercoaster journey since and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working closely with our channel partners to sustain and grow inkjet’s presence in a continually developing market”, commented Taylor. “Epson’s heat-free inkjet technology is disrupting the Managed Print Services market, and its measurable savings in power consumption and consumables versus laser gives our partners an environmental proposition that customers have grown to expect in the current climate. I’m honoured to take on this new role and my team and I look forwards to further supporting our partners in shifting more businesses from laser to inkjet.”
Epson UK’s former Head of Sales for Office Printing, Richard Wells, has become the Head of Market Development for Home and Office Printing at Epson Europe, where he will support the development of inkjet printing internationally.
