Canon UK and Alternative, an independent digital document solutions provider, are proud to celebrate 25 years of partnership with Gold status.
The duration of the relationship is a testament to their shared business values and ambitions for growth within a fast-changing marketplace, the OEM explained.
Following the launch of Canon’s refreshed partner programme in 2018, Alternative is the only UK Canon partner to be awarded Gold, the highest level of accreditation possible, in Pro Print Graphic Arts and in-house Professional Print. Alternative is also the only London-based Canon Production Print Accredited partner, putting it in a unique position to serve local businesses of all sizes, Canon elaborated.
Alternative’s journey to Platinum Partner started back in 1999 when it became a Canon Plus Accredited Dealer. It then went onto become a European Premier Partner in 2008, before achieving Platinum Partner status in 2018.
Dave Allen, Sales Director, Alternative, said: “Canon has supported and nurtured our growth aspirations as we have risen to achieve new levels of accreditation. Together we have established a winning formula by combining market leading products with exceptional customer service, to deliver unbeatable results.”
