- Let’s start with a quick snapshot – tell us how the year has been going so far for Data Direct?
It has been a really strong year, still showing growth and we have already logged two record months – plenty still to play for! - What are some of the latest developments at Data Direct that partners and the wider industry should know about?
We continue focus on programmes that will enable our dealers to sell more, more efficiently – whether that be in back office developments, such as our own EDI system, or new income streams such as our range of wide format products that have just been added to our portfolio. - If you could give one key piece of advice to MSPs today that would make a measurable difference to their business, what would it be?
Keep your business personal – treat your customers as individuals, not just an account number – listen more than you talk 😊. - You’re one of our proud sponsors at this year’s Stockies Awards – what makes these awards such a standout event for the industry?
It’s good to see a process where the results are born out of actual data, in a market where there is so much ‘noise’, which can easily distract. - You’re sponsoring the Print Vendor of the Year award. What are the biggest trends you’re seeing in this space right now, and what would you expect to see from a winner?
All dealers are having to work ever harder just to stand still – the ones that are winning are the ones that are constantly adjusting to market demand, listening to their customer base and making sure they maintain it. - If you could recommend a winner, who would it be?
There are so many solid vendors out there, it will be great to see who has upped their game in 2025!
