As we wrap up August and our 6th birthday celebrations, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who've been part of our journey.  We will be taking a break for the bank holiday weekend, but we'll be back in the office on Tuesday, refreshed and ready for what's next!  Have a fantastic long weekend, everyone! 😎☀️

Summer may be heading towards an end,  but is your office ready for the autumn rush? As businesses gear up for Q4, it's important to make sure that your print setup is there to support you - at Parallel, we help businesses prepare for growth and change. Whether you're anticipating a busy autumn or planning for long-term expansion, our team is here to help. We'd love the opportunity to talk to you about how we can set your business up for success!

Sustainability isn’t a tick box. It’s part of how we think, plan, and deliver. We’ve helped schools and businesses cut paper waste, save energy, and switch to smarter systems, all without sacrificing performance. The future of print is green, and we are proud to be part of that. #thefutureisgreen #sustainability

It’s not just what we do - it’s how we do it that makes the difference. At Parallel, we’ve built our reputation on delivering a fast, responsive service that our clients can rely on. Every solution we provide is tailored to the needs of the business we’re working with - no one-size-fits-all packages, just setups that work in the real world. We believe in honest advice, even if that means telling you something you might not expect, and we focus on building long-term relationships rather than chasing quick wins. Fast, responsive service. Tailored solutions. Honest advice. Long-term relationships. That’s the Parallel way. #managedprintservices #MPS

If you've been following our journey, you know that Parallel has been on the move – literally!  In our recent interview celebrating six years of Parallel, Managing Director Gavin Auckland revealed that getting into our permanent office was the standout achievement of the past year. And what a difference it's made! From increased efficiency to an improved customer experience, having the whole team under one roof has been a game-changer!

🎉 Today’s the day - Parallel turns 6! 🎉 From launching in 2020 (in what Gavin calls 'a rabbit hutch of an office') to becoming a thriving group of companies with our own logistics arm, a new head office to call home, and over 100 clients across the UK - it’s been an incredible journey. We are proud of the service we deliver, the partnerships we’ve built, and the difference we’ve made for our customers. But most of all, we’re grateful to everyone who’s been part of the story so far. Here’s to the next six years of doing things differently!

This weekend, the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) heads to Donington Park, and our sponsored driver, Aron Taylor-Smith, is ready to race! As always, we will be cheering him on every step of the way -  if you are watching the races, keep an eye out for Aron's car - and if you're at the track, give him an extra cheer from all of us at Parallel!

Can you believe it's been six years since Parallel started?! As we approach this milestone, we sat down with our Managing Director, Gavin Auckland, to reflect on the journey so far and to get a sneak peek at what's next. From moving into our permanent home to embracing exciting new technologies, it's been a year of transformation and growth. But one thing hasn't changed - which our commitment to truly understanding and serving our customers.  Check out the full interview for Gavin's insights on everything from the impact of our new office to his vision for Parallel's future. Trust us, it's a good read! parallel-group.co.uk/2026/08…

At Parallel, we have always been committed to delivering exceptional service and support to our clients - but don't just take our word for it - here is what they have to say!  Thank you to all our amazing clients for your support and trust! If you've had a great experience with Parallel, we'd love to hear about it!

How much time does your team spend fixing jams, chasing supplies, or waiting for a service call? Every lost hour is costing your business, not just in wages, but in productivity, frustration, and missed opportunities. Our managed print solutions keep your devices running smoothly so your team can focus on the work that actually matters! #managedprintservices #controlyourcosts

Did you know that every print you make with Parallel contributes to global reforestation?  Through our partnership with PrintReleaf, we track the paper consumption of our clients and convert it into equivalent numbers of trees - these trees are then planted in certified reforestation projects around the world.  It's a simple but powerful way to give back to the environment, without any extra effort from you. By printing with Parallel, you're not just getting great printing services - you're also making a positive impact on the planet.  Find out more about our commitment to sustainability through PrintReleaf:- parallel-group.co.uk/sustain…

It's a myth that you have to be a big business to have a managed print service; the reality is any business will see immediate benefits, including:- ✅ Predictable, all-inclusive costs ✅ Time saved by not having to deal with managing supplies and maintenance ✅ Benefiting from the latest and most efficient technology ✅ Visibility over usage and being able to identify areas for optimisation ✅ You can scale your print environment as your business grows At Parallel, we offer MPS solutions tailored for businesses of all sizes. Don't let the myth hold you back - let's talk about how an MPS can benefit you!  parallel-group.co.uk

At Parallel, we get a lot of questions about print - and we love answering them! Our FAQ page covers many of our frequently asked questions and is a great place to look if you want to know more about what we do:- parallel-group.co.uk/faq/

One question worth asking yourself this week:- When did you last review your print setup? Not just the cost, but whether the devices are performing consistently, whether the support contract is actually delivering, and whether you have the reporting in place to make good decisions. For a lot of businesses, the honest answer is 'not recently', and a lot can change in that time. We are always happy to have that conversation, and a free print audit is a great place to start.

Our client, Airbox, came to us with a common challenge - a growing business with a print setup that wasn’t keeping pace. Fragmented systems, rising costs, and unnecessary admin were slowing things down. We carried out a full audit and designed a tailored Managed Print Solution to meet their needs. This led to 32% cost savings, streamlined processes, smarter and more secure printing and a solution that grows with the business. And the best bit - their team can now focus on what they do best without worrying about print problems. parallel-group.co.uk/2023/09… #customersuccess #print

This weekend, the British Touring Car Championship heads to Knockhill Racing Circuit in Scotland, and our sponsored driver Aron Taylor-Smith is ready to tackle this unique and challenging track. Knockhill is known for its tight corners, undulating layout, and dramatic elevation changes, making it a true test of driver skill and car setup. It's always an exciting venue for the BTCC! The Parallel team will be cheering Aron on every step of the way - if you're watching the races, keep an eye out for Aron and join us in wishing him the best of luck!

Sustainable printing isn’t just good for your business; it sends a strong message to your clients, partners, and employees about the values you stand for. Through our partnership with PrintReleaf, every page you print on a Parallel-managed device is automatically measured and turned into trees that are planted in certified reforestation projects around the world. That means you can run your business as usual while actively contributing to global sustainability efforts. For your clients and stakeholders, it’s a commitment to doing business responsibly and thinking about the bigger picture, which can strengthen relationships, build trust, and set you apart from competitors. #reforestation #sustainability
