Pete Lunn returns to Kyocera

Kyocera Document Solutions UK has welcomed back Pete Lunn, who has rejoined the business to help accelerate its UK channel strategy and deepen support for dealers nationwide. Pete returns to Kyocera as head sales lead, with fresh insights into how customer needs have changed over the past few years. “The culture at Kyocera has always been fundamental to its success and remarkable growth,” Pete said. “Stepping back into the business has been truly inspiring, and the warm reception from colleagues has reaffirmed just how strong the sense of community is here. “Customers crave reliability and flexibility. Dealers want a vendor who

listens and adapts. My priority is to make sure we’re giving partners the support they need to stay competitive, be it through smarter processes or stronger day-to-day collaboration. The market has become significantly more challenging in the last few years, but that also means there’s a real opportunity for us to reconnect with customers and further develop our people-first approach.” Steve Pearce, head of marketing at Kyocera Document Solutions UK, added: “We’re delighted to have Pete back. He understands our partners, has a strong grasp of the market and appreciates what makes Kyocera special. His experience and energy will play an important part in our next phase of channel growth.” n
