Community spirit drives success at Printerland

One of the UK’s largest resellers of office printers, www.printerland.co.uk, is celebrating success by giving back in a big way environmentally and socially. Most recently, after winning a national Oki reseller award the company responded by building sustainable homes in underdeveloped townships in South Africa.

Having built a name on its speed of response, Printerland sets ambitious targets that once achieved are swiftly followed by a new project either locally or globally. James Kight, joint managing director at Printerland looks for programmes that will have a positive impact on local communities wherever they are.

“We hope to show the positive social impact businesses can make through investment and action, creating a model that other companies can embrace,” he says. Ongoing projects in the UK are mixed with one off ventures in other parts of the world.

Printerland’s Rugby Youth Programme aims to improve the quality of children’s lives in local communities. The scheme promotes the need for children to live healthy, balanced and active lives as well as improving sporting skills at grassroots level. Since its launch, the programme has benefited hundreds of children from schools across the North West.

On a global scale, Printerland’s visit to South Africa was part of a project to help eliminate poverty housing. They sponsored and took part in “Habitat for Humanity’s” project which worked to make a difference to the lives of twenty families in a Cape Town township.
