The Hidden Costs of Printing: How Managed Print Services Reduce Business Waste
Introduction For many organisations, printing is viewed as a routine operational expense. Printers are purchased, toner is replaced when needed, and documents continue to flow through the business without much scrutiny. However, the true cost of printing extends far beyond paper and ink.

Moving from box‑ticking compliance to real‑world cyber readiness Written by Richard Puckey Cyber security has a confidence problem For years, many organisations have taken comfort in annual cyber audits, certifications and compliance checklists. Pass the audit, tick the box and move on. On paper, everything looks secure. The problem? Cyber threats don’t operate on an annual cycle. The UK’s Cyber Action Plan is a clear signal that this approach is no longer enough. It challenges businesses to rethink cyber security not as a periodic compliance exercise, but as a living, breathing capability and culture that must stand up…
