Xeretec, the UK’s largest Xerox partner and a Xerox Platinum Concessionaire Partner, has acquired First Copy Corporation Ltd, a longstanding Xerox concessionaire, unifying two businesses with deep Xerox expertise and parallel histories.
First Copy’s legacy of strong local relationships, community involvement, and trusted service will remain central, now strengthened by Xeretec’s national resources and broader capabilities, and First Copy’s customers will benefit from Xeretec’s infrastructure and broader expertise across managed IT services, digital workspace, cybersecurity, unified communications, software licensing, and procurement, in addition to market-leading print solutions.
The combination allows for faster, more informed technology solutions, with access to best-in-class products, independent advice, and enhanced support, including free IT assessments and technology health checks.
Xeretec’s has a long history and experience in production print, including workflow automation, software integration, and finishing solutions, and coincidentally both companies were founded within days of each other in 1991.
Customers are promised a smooth transition, with continuity of trusted service and access to Xeretec’s proactive, multi-award-winning support teams, and all customers, employees, and partners of First Copy will continue to benefit from trusted local service, now backed by Xeretec’s financial stability, national scale, and reputation.
“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.”
The acquisition brings together two trusted Xerox experts, ensuring First Copy’s customers enjoy service continuity but with the added power of Xeretec’s expanded IT and print services, national reach, and ongoing commitment to innovation and customer success.
“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.”
