A PRINT management firm in Burnley has secured its largest-ever deal - a £1.2m contract with a specialist engineering firm.

Zest Document Solutions, of Billington Road, has been fast making a major name for itself in the North West printing world.

And director Anthony Gawthrop believes it is Zest’s “honest approach” which helped to clinch the contract with their latest blue-chip client.

He said: “We are delighted to be working with the company. We share the same ethos of doing business and that is very important to both parties.

“We want our customers to focus on their business while we manage their print requirements, which will forge long-lasting relationships.

“Our approach to business is very ethical, and we believe this was instrumental in securing our latest contract.”

Anthony, who runs the company with fellow directors Craig Lemon and Leigh Hammond, is also aiming to become the top supplier of Ricoh business machines in the UK.

He added: “We have the ability to handle all types of deals from a relatively small one to a multi-million pound agreement, where we offer full IT support.

“We also provide low-cost options for business start-ups and the education sector.We like to part of a business’s growth and know how difficult the first year or so can be when money is tight.”

Pete Smith, regional sales director for Ricoh, said: “The senior management team at Zest Document Solutions are forward-thinking and have clearly installed a customer-first ethos within the business, which is refreshing and easy to work with as a supplier.”
