Xeretec, the UK’s largest Xerox partner and provider of managed IT services, announced the acquisition of long-standing Xerox concessionaire, First Copy Corporation Ltd.
Founded within days of each other in 1991, both businesses share a unique parallel history, built on innovation, customer care, and decades of Xerox expertise.
This acquisition marks a new chapter for First Copy and its customers. First Copy’s legacy of community involvement and local service will remain at the heart of its operations, now strengthened by Xeretec’s infrastructure, national scale, and broader capabilities across both print and IT. As well as delivering print solutions, Xeretec brings a wealth of expertise in managed IT services, providing even greater value, innovation, and support to help customers operate smarter and more securely.
“First Copy has built its reputation on trusted relationships and dedicated local service,” said Steve Hawkins, CEO of Xeretec. “We’re proud to carry that forward — while introducing the added strength of Xeretec’s broader offering. From award-winning print expertise to a full suite of IT services, we’re here to deliver even greater value, insight, and support to help customers succeed in a rapidly evolving digital world.”
Already the UK’s leading Xerox partner, Xeretec’s acquisition of First Copy further strengthens its market position and enhances its reach, reinforcing its place as one of the largest Xerox partners in Europe.
As Xeretec is Xerox’s leading partner for Production Print in the UK, this acquisition brings significant added value to First Copy’s high end commercial print customers. Xeretec’s expertise in this specialist field goes far beyond the device itself, offering complete, end-to-end solutions that span workflow automation, software integration, and finishing capabilities.
“What sets us apart in Production Print is our ability to deliver far more than just the hardware,” said Steve Hawkins, CEO of Xeretec. “We provide intelligent, joined-up solutions that optimise every stage of the print process — from pre-press workflows through to advanced finishing. We understand the critical role this technology plays in our customers’ operations and are committed to exceeding expectations every step of the way.”
Xeretec added that customers can look forward to a seamless transition and a significantly enhanced experience.
