PRINTITRESELLER.UK 37 CAREERS Autumn-Rose East, Solutions & IT Support Technician, UTAX: I have always been intrigued by all technology, how to fix most things, and how these things (in this case, printers) relate to the real-world applications they have. I have loved learning about the different software that can help save time and let people put attention on more important things. I’ve always been a naturally curious person, and that doesn’t stop when I’m trying to help someone over the phone, fixing either their computer or printer. The world I accidentally stumbled into has turned into this amazing learning experience that was way bigger than I thought it was. www.utax.co.uk Krystol Slocombe, UK Field Marketing Manager, Lexmark: What attracted me to the print sector was the clear path for career growth. I’ve been fortunate to take on new responsibilities and receive promotions within a few years. I’ve participated in exciting marketing projects like product launches, various events and campaigns. The benefits are strong, the pay is competitive, and there’s a great sense of community. I’ve engaged with technologies like cloud, security, and AI, making the work dynamic. It’s a fantastic place for anyone looking to build a meaningful career. www.lexmark.co.uk Alex Jordan, Sales Development Representative, Konica Minolta: Like many people, I have found myself entering an industry that I hadn’t originally planned to but having worked for an agency that works in the sector, it opened my eyes to the career possibilities. I think changing perceptions is an important part of attracting young people. The only direct contact many people have with print is using a home or office printer, and whilst these are still important, there is, of course, a much broader print industry. With the digital world being so all-encompassing for many young people, it’s important that they understand the relevance of print so they can see it’s an industry worthy of building a career in. www.konicaminolta.co.uk Adam Gray, Second Year Digital and Tech Solutions Degree Apprentice, Ricoh: What attracted me to Ricoh was its strong expertise and history in print, paired with a clear drive towards digital transformation, allowing me to start my career, and continue my learning, in the best way possible. Starting my apprenticeship here gave me the chance to learn within an established business that’s evolving, moving from traditional print to cloud, automation, and smart solutions. What’s kept me engaged is Ricoh’s consistent culture which I have found to be supportive, forward-thinking, and focused on growth. It’s a company that values both innovation and its people, which makes it a great place to develop. www.ricoh.co.uk Matt Lee, Product Marketing Manager, PaperCut: My journey from hardware tech to pre-sales architect and now product marketing mirrors the print sector’s exciting evolution beyond the physical printed page. What excites me most isn’t just printing itself, but tackling the security, cloud, and environmental challenges customers have, where software leads the conversation. PaperCut thrives on finding new ways to solve these challenges and has empowered me to grow my knowledge and skills and progress my career. It’s a sector demanding versatile skills and offering genuine opportunities to act as a thought leader for businesses navigating complex decisions. www.papercut.com Autumn-Rose East Adam Gray Matt Lee Alex Jordan Krystol Slocombe
