01732 759725 6 Agilico launches well-being hub Agilico is launching a new well-being hub to underline its commitment to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Available to all staff, the hub will be a dedicated space for ideas, resources, events and support. It will feature practical guidance on topics such as healthy routines, behaviour change and maintaining work-life balance, alongside tips from recognised wellbeing experts. The hub will also promote awareness days and national health campaigns, giving colleagues opportunities to connect with wider initiatives. Importantly, it will be brought to life by Agilico’s own well-being champions – colleagues who help embed positive practices into daily culture across the company. The timing of the launch is deliberate – The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) were first adopted by all UN member states a decade ago in 2015, providing a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. Among the SDGs, several relate closely to the purpose of the well‑being hub initiative. SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) highlight the link between wellness, community and economy. Agilico’s well‑being hub embodies these principles in practice, aligning a global agenda with meaningful action at workplace level. www.agilico.co.uk Three decades of partnership Konica Minolta has formally recognised Woodbank Office Solutions for more than 30 years of successful collaboration and partnership. To mark the occasion, the company presented Woodbank Office Solutions with a commemorative plaque, celebrating their shared journey and continued commitment to delivering premium workplace solutions. Founded by Janet Bowden in Stockport in 1989, with only a secretary for support, Woodbank Office Solutions has since evolved into a 14-person team with a 95% customer retention rate and a reputation for premium service. As a long-standing Konica Minolta partner, the company has transitioned from traditional copier sales to a consultative, IT-led approach, consistently delivering the right tailored solutions, service and support to its customers. The recognition also coincides with the 20th anniversary of Konica Minolta’s bizhub range, and Woodbank Office Solutions was among the first early adopters in 2005. Janet said: “It changed how we sold, how we engaged with customers, and how we positioned ourselves in the market. We moved from hardware-led sales to a consultative, software-first approach, which earned us greater respect and deeper customer relationships. Konica Minolta’s innovation helped us to grow and evolve even further.” Cameron Mitchell, Business Leader for Indirect Channel at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd said: “Janet and the team exemplify the qualities we value most in a partner – a premium provider with a consultative mind-set, a deep commitment to service, and an ability to adapt and deliver excellent service that has made them a true extension of the Konica Minolta brand. This recognition is both a celebration of our shared journey and a heartfelt thank you for over 30 years of trusted collaboration and partnership.” www.woodbankoffice.co.uk www.konicaminolta.co.uk Ekco acquires Solsoft Managed cloud and security services provider Ekco, has acquired Bristol-headquartered MSP Solsoft Group.
