Parallel Office and Document Solutions, a managed print services (MPS) provider, based in the Southeast of England, has joined the Watford FC Regional Partnership.
Parallel is known for its ability to align with its customer needs. It offers complete managed print services solutions, including everything from selecting and setting up printers to ongoing monitoring and maintenance. These services are designed to reduce costs, improve efficiency and ensure security across an organisation’s print environment.
By joining forces with the Watford FC Regional Partnership Programme, the Uxbridge-based business will have numerous branding opportunities around Vicarage Road on matchdays exclusive to the Regional Partners.
Away from the matchday, Parallel will also reap the rewards of being a Regional Partner, which include content from StatZone, shared by the official Watford FC social media channels, and the chance to connect with like-minded businesses at Eleven’s premium Partner Events.
Last month, Parallel celebrated its fourth anniversary. Having launched during the challenging times of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the company has grown year on year, a testament to its resilience, dedication, and customer-first approach.
Reflecting on this, Gavin Auckland, managing director of Parallel, says: “The past year at Parallel has been incredible. Winning the Print IT ‘Reseller of the Year’ award last year was a huge moment for us, but being nominated again this year in the higher turnover category is truly something special. It shows how far we’ve come and the hard work the team puts in every day. From expanding our services to opening new offices, we’ve made some big strides, and this recognition really highlights the growth and progress we’ve achieved. Here’s to even bigger things ahead!”
Parallel is looking forward to the launch of the new part of its business, Parallel Logistics, this autumn and an upcoming move into a larger head office in November; Parallel is not just growing in numbers but also in capability.
Parallel’s growth isn’t just about expanding its customer base and increasing revenue. The company’s strong focus on sustainability and giving back to the community is part of its ethos.
Through its partnership with PrintReleaf, a program that enables its customers to reforest the paper they use by planting trees in areas that need them the most, Parallel and its customers have turned 35 million printed pages into 4,249 trees planted in forests worldwide.
The company has also extended its commitment to community support through initiatives like the Muscle Help Foundation’s Muscle Dreams program, sponsoring numerous local sports teams, and supporting the YMCA Leicestershire. Parallel believes that giving back to the community is as important as business growth.
Becoming a Regional Partner of Watford FC marks another milestone for the company, highlighting its desire to support those around it and contribute where it can.
Parallel’s journey from a startup during a global pandemic to becoming a growing, award-winning business is a story of resilience, customer dedication, and a strong desire to do things differently.
