"The printers used to be everyone’s bugbear, from directors right down to office levels, and the system Arena installed has worked well in every department – financially, operationally, and strategically. The installation was very good, and account management support has also been excellent. "
Gavin Black, Business Improvement & Contracts Manager
Salix Homes

We were impressed by their good understanding beyond just printers - about print efficiencies and saving money. They understood this from a housing sector viewpoint and knew what we were about."
