Contact: Paul Thorburn Company: Tech4 Office Equipment Ltd Web Address: www.tech4office.co.uk Family business, Tech4 Office Equipment Ltd, is built on the core values of integrity, honesty, and teamwork. The company is constantly refreshing its view of the marketplace to understand what’s important to its customers and the wider world. We find out more from Managing Director, Paul Thorburn. Carlisle-based company, Tech4 Office Equipment Ltd, has been supplying businesses in Cumbria since 2009. Standing by its core values, the company has built a reputation for reliability, transparency, competitive pricing, and excellent service.

Paul tells us, “We currently have over 1500 office machines working in businesses, charities, schools and other organisations. As Tech4 continues to grow we stay true to our core values and always offer solutions that will work best for our customers. We know our industry, our products and ensure we stay up-to-date with the latest developments in technology.” Tech4 offers a range of services and the sales team will ensure they find the right solution for every circumstance. If you need a printer, Tech4 can supply anything from a basic black- and-white machine that will fit into your spare bedroom, to state-of-the-art machines for large companies. The team can also offer expert advice on which photocopier will be the right fit for your business too. Paul explains, “We’re an accredited supplier for Ricoh, Lexmark, Sharp and Develop. With a combined experience of more than 50 years in this business, we know these brands, their technology and their strengths. We’re confident that we can put together a great value package for every customer.” Minimising environmental impact is high on the agenda for Tech4. The company is working hard to make sustainable offices a reality. “Office equipment uses plenty of power and lots of paper, so those are the two areas that we focus on. We encourage customers to use our Best Office Equipment Supplier - Cumbria remote maintenance and service options too. We can provide great service without always getting into a van and out on the road,” Paul shares. The company is keen to help its clients make their workspaces greener and provides advice on energy efficiency. It also aims to supply low energy machines wherever possible. Tech4’s RecycIT project works to repair, reuse or recycle as much office equipment as possible. The company works in collaboration with several IT partners in Carlisle to divert redundant equipment away from landfill sites to be recycled in the safest and most effective way. Partnering with the Woodland Trust, Tech4 offset the carbon produced in the manufacture of all the paper it uses and sells. Tech4 takes its commitment to customer service equally seriously. No matter what size the client, staff focus on providing every customer with the same care, respect and excellent service. The company holds an ISO9001 for quality and a SafeContractor Accreditation.
