Ian Clare’s company is recognised as the Canon Business Partner of the Year at the awards celebration in the Barossa Valley this week.
DES was one of 55 channel partners and came out on top with year on year growth of 141% in Canon wide-format engines during 2014. A very pleased Clare was on hand to accept the top award from Canon Professional Print manager, Mike Boyle.
"It's always nice to be recognised for good achievements. We have a first class team at DES who are second to none when it comes to being able to deliver the right technical advice to professional printers. We've had a very good year and look forward to an even better result in 2015," he said.
The awards were presented at a two day gala event in South Australia’s picturesque Barossa Valley this week, where the winners received their award, and celebrated a successful 2014.
Luke McDonald, Assistant General Manager, Canon Partner Channel said, “Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and finalists. We praise all of our partners for their hard work and commitment to our mutual customers over the last 12 months.”
