BULLETIN PRINTITRESELLER.UK 7 Daisy Partner Business launches new reseller programme Daisy Partner Business has launched a new partner programme that makes it even easier for resellers to run their business and offers a lucrative exit opportunity for when they decide they’d like to move on. The programme encourages telecoms resellers to migrate their base to, and place onward future business with Daisy Partner Business which will manage customers on their behalf. Daisy functions like a back office, taking care of credit, billing, delivery, and service to free up more time for resellers to concentrate on generating sales and driving revenue. The model takes some of the business risk away from the partner while also maintaining their relationships and identity. If the partner decides to depart the business at any point, Daisy will help to manage that exit and offer a multiplier of up to 25x the average of the last average commission statement, realising the value in the partner’s business. www.daisypartners.co.uk IPIA networking lunch The Gaucho restaurant in Birmingham was the venue for the Independent Print Industry Association’s (IPIA) first in-person event of 2022 – highlighting a rebound in business activity for the sector. More than 100 print industry representatives, agencies, suppliers, printers and print buyers attended the lunch, setting a very high benchmark for future events. “The Spring Networking Lunch epitomised the value of face-to-face networking. You cannot underestimate the power of human connection, especially within a community as welcoming as the IPIA. New perspectives, generating ideas, exchanging information on challenges and lots of inspiration thrown in,” said Lucy Swanston, Chair of the IPIA Events Subcommittee and Managing Director of Nutshell Creative. Commenting on the very significant industry turnout, President of the IPIA and Managing Director of PMG, Mike Roberts, said: “If there was any doubt that our sector wanted to network, then this event dispels it and proves that the appetite is very much there. With the credibility of the IPIA at an all-time high, it was fabulous to be in such a fantastic venue as Gaucho and watch members doing what they do best; networking and generating new business.” www.ipia.org.uk Record set of results Bytes Technology Group has reported gross invoiced income of £1.21bn in its preliminary results, up 26.1%, with growth reported across all business areas of software, hardware and services. Looking ahead, Bytes said that after a successful 2022 financial year with a continuation of double-digit growth across key financial metrics, it was carrying strong momentum into the 2023 period. The board said it had made a good start in the new financial year, although it was mindful of both domestic and global macroeconomic pressures. “This is another record set of results for BTG, with positive contributions from all parts of the business,” said Chief Executive Officer Neil Murphy. www.bytes.co.uk Out of the box solution Tech Data is adding further value to the business development support it provides to Microsoft cloud partners by offering them a quick-to-deploy version of the Dynamics 365 CRM solution.
