A company supplying office technology is the latest winner of a monthly business award.

Copiserv was named Business of the Month in the competition run by Huddersfield law firm Eaton Smith in conjunction with the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and government export support arm UK Trade & Industry.

The framed certificate was presented to Gareth Hunt, Adam James and Richard Hunt, of Copiserv, by Steven Pollitt, partner at Eaton Smith. The presentation took place at the law firm’s High Street premises.

Copiserv, based in Wakefield, was established in 1975, but was acquired by Mr Hunt, the current managing director, in 2010.

The firm supplies printing equipment and print management software to small and medium-sized businesses across Yorkshire.

The company aspires to establish strong relationships with clients to get a thorough understanding of their business, so that it can provide a tailor-made service that is right for them.

The firm feels this gives it a competitive advantage over other companies in this relatively crowded marketplace.

Copiserv provides a range of award winning equipment, including desk-top printers, full colour photocopiers and more efficient ways of storing paperwork to a variety of client sectors.

Customers include professional service firms such as accountants, solicitors and estate agents, schools, print and design companies, charities and manufacturing companies.

The judging panel was impressed by the fact that the Mr Hunt took over the business during a very difficult economic climate and from a standing start has managed to turn over a reasonable profit margin in the first year of trading.

The judges were also impressed by the proactive way the business is promoted.

With a business mission, marketing strategy and a focus on building relationships, it aims to ensure that every business in its target area is fully aware of the company within the next 12 months.

Mr Hunt said: “We would like to thank Eaton Smith and the panel for awarding Copiserv the Business of the Month Award.

“We work hard to try to be a little bit different in our approach in such a crowded marketplace and are pleased that this has been recognised. Things are tough out there and to win this award is a great honour and it’s also a great platform to work on moving forward.”
