01732 759725 4 Dupliq attends Essex Festival of Business Dupliq showcased managed print services alongside Konica Minolta’s new AI-powered Nurse Assist system - an intelligent solution for fall detection and patient monitoring at Essex Chamber of Commerce’s Festival of Business, which took place at Chelmsford City Racecourse. The event brings together businesses from across the region to celebrate innovation, growth and collaboration, and for Dupliq, it marked a significant milestone. Following a management buyout and rebrand in late 2024, the Festival of Business is its first event appearance under the Dupliq name. Director Ross Tippett said: “We’ve worked closely with the Chamber for years, and this is the perfect platform to reinforce our presence, reconnect with familiar faces, and introduce ourselves to new ones. It’s not just about leads – it’s about visibility, relationships, and showing people who we are and what we deliver.” Although Dubliq is a relatively new Konica Minolta partner, its team has extensive knowledge and experience in working with the technology manufacturer across multiple previous ventures and continues to champion its technology and service ethos. www.dupliq.co.uk iNREACH tree planting day For its 2025 annual tree planting day, iNREACH team members and partners Bubble Creative Solutions and Silverstone returned to a local farm in Little Horwood and planted over 500 trees of various species to help populate the patch of land.
