Nevard says: “It’s an exciting time to be part of Xeretec. I’m looking forward to contributing to our growth and helping our customers get the most from their print and IT investments.” Founded in 1991 by two former employees of Xerox, Alyn Jenkins and Mark Duffelen set up Xeretec in Wokingham with 15 employees and a vision of providing reliable digital print hardware and solutions at a time when digital print was starting to shake up the industry. Nevard notes: “It was clear even then that the future of print would be about more than machines – it would be about how technology, software, and support services integrated together.” Fast forward to today and Nevard says that Xeretec has grown organically and through targeted acquisitions. The company operates across the UK and Ireland, helping organisations modernise print hardware and IT infrastructures. “We offer an integrated portfolio of services specifically designed for production print providers. At our core, we’re a Xerox Platinum Concessionaire, and that helps us deliver cutting-edge technology supported by real technical and practical know-how,” says Nevard, who adds: “We help businesses optimise their production environments – from front-end automation and job onboarding to output and finishing. “Our knowledge of automation and workflow tools, for instance, enable customers to significantly reduce manual touchpoints and increase throughput.” Another significant area of the business is web-to-print platforms, which it helps customers roll out in order to improve ordering experiences as well as open new revenue channels. “Add to that our crossmedia marketing tools and personalised print capabilities, and our customers are better equipped to help end-users run far more relevant and targeted marketing campaigns,” says Nevard.
