We continue to support our end user customers, helping with pre-sales advice and post-sales support. Our UK Service Desk offers support via web chat, email and phone. We spend a lot of time selecting and training our Customer Support team, ensuring that they are technically competent and have the right customer service attitude. It clearly makes a difference to our customers who frequently send us feedback.
We work closely with our channel customers to ensure that they are knowledgeable about our product and services and motivated to sell our brand. We also work together on like-minded projects to create a positive impact on our business and across our communities in the UK.
The Brother UK team have a great culture – they are keen, enthusiastic and great to work with. They managed to pitch the training at just the right level, keeping our teams engaged and motivated during the annual conference. Every member of our team got to have a hands on demo, and it obviously worked, sales of Brother products have increased since the event.

The Brother UK solutions showroom extends the industry trend of focusing on application and benefits rather than solely on product. In addition, it allows the company to display and promote some innovation accelerator products, such as augmented reality, in the context of their potential applications. This should increase customer engagement and help market some of Brother’s non-print products.

We like to develop long-term relationships with our customers. Some of them go back decades. When one of our customers, JG Business Machines, reached the milestone of 40 years in business and of working with Brother, we felt we had to mark it in some way.
2017 was our 40th year in business as a specialist office products distributor, the majority of it as a Brother UK distributor. The last thing we expected was Phil Jones' making a 500-mile round-trip to deliver a custom-made plaque commemorating those 40 years. Not only that, but personally delivering it. Being a world-class brand in the technology industry doesn’t stop Brother UK maintaining traditional values that make a real difference in our fast-paced commercial world. Genuinely a great company and a great bunch of people to deal with. Thank you, Phil and the team, for your tremendous support over many years.

Brother UK and distributor, Midwich are celebrating 35 years in partnership. Phil Jones MBE, Brother UK managing director, presented a traditional Japanese Daruma figure to Midwich Group managing director Stephen Fenby and his senior management team to mark the occasion.
Stephen Fenby, managing director at Midwich Group said: “The last four decades have been a fantastic journey for our company as we have expanded into new sectors and markets across the world. Having a partner like Brother by our side has been a cornerstone of this success. The strength of their product innovation is matched by the way they work, in everything from technical support to their relentless pursuit of excellence and the very best service. Here’s to the next 40 years.”
