But what made this entry stand out was a series of powerful testimonials from partners. In their own words, partners praised Brother for best in class account management, the BrotherZone partner portal which makes selling Brother products a whole lot easier, and only having had good experiences of working with them. “Brother UK have been working with partners for over five decades and one thing that has taught us is that you must keep things continually refreshed and relevant for any partner programme to be effective – our focus remains on reward and enablement. We were up against fierce competition but were able to prove the effectiveness of our partner programme in our entry and how that is effected day to day by our highly skilled account managers to grow business, relationships and customer satisfaction.” Phil Jones, Managing Director HIGHLY COMMENDED: Sharp “Sharp UK is delighted that our Technology Partner Programme has been recognised for its excellence for the third year running. When we created the programme, it was built with our partners in mind, and this trend continues as we evolve it. Going from strength to strength the programme provides invaluable support to help partners both longstanding and new to transform, whilst also helping them to create additional revenue opportunities.” Paul Leach, Director of Dealer Sales PrintIT Award for Employee Experience Sponsored by Henley Executive Brother Judges’ verdict: An excellent entry that really demonstrated Brother’s focus on employee well-being and development, making it a standout winner in this category.

However, we are proud of the environment we have created for our staff to thrive. We have a fast-growing team, and everyone works hard to support each other. In this day and age of hybrid working, it shows that there is still a place for a buzzing workplace, where you can work hard and remain productive in a positive way.
