Reflex reveals new
focus on ‘total
document control’
Reading-based Reflex Digital Solutions marked its
25th anniversary with a customer event at Pincents
Manor Hotel in Reading on September 23.
The Ricoh reseller used the event to reveal its new
approach to Total Document Control, the new company
strapline, and invited clients to see first-hand how its tailored
print solutions can save time and money.
It also showcased products and services from Casio and
Steljes, which distributes the SMART range of education
solutions.
All guests had access to a selection of special offers
and were entered into a prize draw for a Pentax camera and
iPad Air.
For every guest who attended, Reflex donated £5 to BIBS
(Babies in Buscot Support), a registered charity that supports
babies and their families in the special care baby unit (Buscot
Ward) at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.
Managing Director Derrick Murphy said: “Reflex is a very
different company from the one that I set up 25 years ago,
but our core business ethos, to provide outstanding service
and value, still remains. This event was the ideal platform for
us to celebrate this milestone birthday with our clients, many
of whom have been with us for a number of years and to
showcase the expert help and support that’s available to them
now and in the future.”
Endless makes offer for office2office
Tech Data UK is urging resellers
to take a special Sage e-learning
course on new rules governing the
automatic enrolment of staff in
pension schemes and to encourage
their customers to do the same.
Nick Stancliffe, ESD Business Manager
at Tech Data, argues that alerting clients
to the course on auto enrolment is a good
way for resellers to add extra value to a
customer relationship.
He said: “Workplace pension law
is changing, which means employers
will now have new legal duties to help
employees save for retirement. This will
mean big changes in the way that small
businesses manage their employees’
pension schemes. The legislation carries
a significant amount of administrative
obligations, so businesses need to
understand what auto enrolment means
to them and resellers can add value by
alerting them to the Sage course.”
The online course can be taken anytime,
anywhere and costs £40.00 plus VAT.

Antalis UK has produced a
trinket swatch for Image Coloraction,
its own brand range of office and
business tinted papers.
Image Coloraction is FSC-certified and
offers 29 tints of assorted colours in weights

SRA2 and SRA1. It comes with a guarantee for

The merchant says that the swatch showcases the full range of both colours and
grammages and is ideal for resellers to share with their clients.
Synaxon pilots new service
Synaxon, along with a number of its members, is piloting Moorepay’s payroll,
human resources and compliance services, with a view to a full service launch
later this year.

month for organisations throughout the British Isles and is looking to extend its presence
in the IT and office products sectors.
It is working with Synaxon to demonstrate the effectiveness of its service for resellers.
