Meet the team

Allen’s time in office print goes back to the distant days of xerography and the evolution of the plain paper copier. Forty years on, for him there’s nothing more important to the company he co-founded than it's people – together with it's unique customer offer: “We do what we say – it’s as plain and simple as that"

As Vision’s Co-founder with a lifetime in the business, Earl still gets a buzz from the challenge of devising big solutions for today’s businesses. It’s an approach which has helped instil a truly supportive, rather than cut-throat, culture within Vision – one which places customers’ interests at the very top of the sales agenda.

Sales success is about professionalism, consistency and ensuring we give our sales professionals the very best products and services in the market place, I believe we have achieved that. We are highly focused on growth and Vision has the right strategy and team in place to achieve this through focused customer retention and customer acquisition.
