Mottram Financial Services chooses Woodbank for print management solutions
Mottram Financial Services Ltd, chartered financial planners based in Manchester, has chosen Stockport’s Woodbank Office Solutions Ltd as their new print management provider. When reviewing their existing print solution, Peter Rogan, chartered financial planner at Mottram Financial Services, searched for a supplier close to home. Before reaching out directly to Woodbank, Peter contacted a customer of Woodbank’s, Chafes Hague Lambert Solicitors, which were very complimentary of the support they receive. “It’s very important for us to support local businesses, so it’s natural for us to find a local supplier whenever there’s an opportunity,” said Peter. “After speaking to Chafes, I knew I had to give Woodbank a call. Woodbank have now helped us get the right machines for our requirements and the installation was like
lightning. Our account manager, Josh Kinder, came in, took the time to understand what we needed, was personable and knew his stuff. From our experience it’s been very efficient and professional and we’re all happy.” Woodbank have upgraded Mottram’s Konica Minolta printer to fit with their existing system and will now be their one-stop shop for office print equipment. As part of the service, Mottram will get direct, local support from Josh, and Woodbank’s experienced in-house customer service and technical support team. “I’m thrilled that we can support Mottram Financial Services,” said Josh. “Peter is a pleasure to work with. We like to keep things simple at Woodbank: Discuss their needs and find the right solution for those needs. Personally, I love helping local businesses, and it’s nice that they want to support us. I think it’s great for Stockport and Manchester in general.”
