East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) launched a £10m appeal back in 2014 and called upon local businesses to help support the transformation of children’s hospice care services in Norfolk and North Suffolk. Midwich approached some leading technology brands such as LG, NEC, Sennheiser, Chief, AMX, JBL and Barco, to lend their support and sourced over 60 audio-visual products for the hospice installation. The distie then worked with one of its integration partners, Snelling Business Systems, to ensure the products were seamlessly built and installed into the design of the Nook building. www.midwich.com 10 We can buy your unused toners As a Managed Print Service provider, we understand how important it is to deliver the best value and performance to your customers.

The bonuses will be calculated at the end of March on the basis of each dealer’s total spend in all product categories. This will be compared with the equivalent period in 2019 and bonuses will be paid out on all incremental spend excluding EOS. There are two levels of bonus. For dealers achieving 20% growth, a bonus of 5% will be paid, and for 35%, this will increase to 7.5% of the incremental sales. Managing Director, Adrian Butler said: “Following our investment in new product expansion, stock profile and operational effectiveness, we are delighted with the efficiency of our network. We want to encourage dealers to think about what they could be buying from us that they currently source elsewhere and encourage them to put more business through VOW.” www.vowwholesale.co.uk Meet the judges See page 46
