Our history
Today Balreed are one of the UK’s leading independent providers of document and print technology and services.
In 2010 we generated turnover in excess of £20 million and we have a nationwide service and support operation operating from 5 regional hubs in London, Maidstone, Birmingham, Wakefield and Bristol.
Our objective is simple: to provide clients with the optimal print technology, support and service for their organisation.
30 years of stability, driven by innovation
Our history is quite unique. Balreed was originally established in 1977, which makes us 34 years old, but in 2003 the business was rejuvenated by the arrival of a new Managing Director, Robin Stanton-Gleaves, who has built a similarly innovative management team.
Balreed grew rapidly through its new dynamic leadership and more client-focussed approach.
The organisation has retained many of the support and administration team along with sales and service staff who have served the organisation for many years, and clients with a 30 year relationship have benefitted from a more pro-active and imaginative partnership approach.
The provider of choice for today's world
Balreed is rapidly establishing a reputation as the provider of choice for forward looking organisations who have identified the benefits of an optimised document strategy.
We value the opportunity to build mutually beneficial long term business partnerships with clients and to provide you with a tailored managed print solution that satisfies all your aspirations.
Balreed’s ImageFLEX© is a unique approach to Managed Print Services designed to give our clients more freedom.
ImageFLEX© releases you from the limitations of traditional volume contracts, giving you the flexibility to produce the images you need, on the devices you choose.
