BDL Copiers

#TBT: In 1980, Hewlett-Packard introduced the HP 2680A—our very first laser printer and a trailblazer in #print technology. This revolutionary machine delivered high-resolution output and was among the pioneers in seamlessly integrating text and graphics, laying the foundation for modern printing. The technological breakthroughs from this printer sparked a revolution that brought laser printing into homes and offices worldwide, fundamentally changing how we share and consume information. This milestone signified the beginning of HP's ongoing legacy of innovation in office printing. Today, we continue to push the boundaries, developing cutting-edge technologies like our Color LaserJet Pro 3000 and 4000 series that empower people to create, communicate, and #collaborate like never before.

It was and absolute privilege to attend the HP Overdrive cMPS Incentive trip in Tuscany, Italy last week. A once in a lifetime experience driving Ferrari supercars through the Tuscan countryside, sampling wine from the Chianti region and staying at the beautiful Castelfalfi resort with fellow HP Managed Print Partners from the Greater Asia region! Thanks to Lena Tan, Aurelio Maruggi, Paul Gracey & Suzanne Wheeler for hosting such a spectacular event!

The lovely Laura Lever, as we like to call her, has just ticked over five years at BDL Copiers. Fresh back from Parental Leave when she first started here, Laura threw herself into her job at BDL Copiers with gusto. Soon becoming proficient with the supreme juggling act familiar to working Mum's, Laura is now back with us after a wee break for bouncing baby #2. As well as invigorating the office with regular outburts of raucous laughter, Laura is absolutely brilliant at her job - she always puts her hand up to learn something new and add a new task to an already busy day. Laura Lever, the world would be a much better place if we had a whole lot more like you in it. Thank you for coming back to us and brightening up the world of BDL Copiers 😄 And thank you for the last 5 years, its been a crazy ride! #localbusiness #industry40 #teamwork #funatwork

Scott Hinman, what can we say, 24 years at BDL Copiers. That's is quite a stint at a single employer - even by BDL standards! Scott started at BDL Copiers in the momentous 'Y2K'. The world didn't meltdown when the new year rolled in as was predicted, but Scott Hinman obviously decided it was time for a new job and landed up at BDL Copiers. He started as a Field Technician and after about 15 years moved into sales to become the National Education Manager. Always snappily dressed, beautifully polite, technically savvy - he also does excellent paperwork! Quick with a joke, kind and generous, Scott Hinman is also the life of every work party, until he nods off 🤣. Scott Hinman thank you for being such a dedicated and loyal member of the BDL Copiers team for all these years. It been a privilege and a pleasure, and we look forward to many more years of working together. Ben Huston Daryl Hancox Chris Beavon Laura Lever

We were really fortunate to have Hamant Dullabh join the BDL Copiers Field Service Team in January 2024. Hamant works in the Northern Region. Hamant has over 20 years experience in this industry gained with various brands. He also owned and operated a successful gardening business for 5 years. Having worked, lived and travelled widely, he understands the varying needs of our customers so they can successfully run their own businesses. Hamant is passionate about the industry and is looking forward to serving the BDL Copiers growing base in the North. #localbusiness #HP #teamwork

More lines of those pretty printers..... but this time in green. What colour would you choose?? Green, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Red, Grey ..... talk to the sales team at BDL Copiers to spec up a unit to brighten up the office or match your school colours. The functionality is pretty good too!

Its quite a process to get to this point. From the very start of a sale, the BDL Copiers Sales team might meet with the customer multiple times over months (and sometimes years!) where customer needs are analysed informing the specification and configuration of the equipment along with any specialist needs like PaperCut Software. Once a proposal is accepted, we then arrange finance for the customer, order stock, juggle stock availability, receive goods into the various warehouses around the country. Then there is the unboxing and processing packaging for recycling. At this stage the BDL Copiers technical team run up the equipment whilst the Admin team arrange delivery and install, often at multiple sites around the country. Network Engineers will liaise with Customer's IT and install the printers at site, installing monitoring software, drivers and attend to any other special requirements. At this point the Admin team will submit finance docs for settlement, set up the Service Contract in our ECI Software Solutions Managed Print Service Software (e-automate), process Direct Debit information, update customer details ...... and all while attempting to have minimal impact on the customer.... As no-one really wants to know about all that stuff .... they just want the printer working and to get on with business!! #localbusiness #teamwork #HP

It’s a lovely thing to walk into the store at BDL Copiers and see rows of pretty blue printers waiting to be run up (these ones will end up with green front panels). Then there’s either the hum of our HP Multi Jet Fusion printers printing away in the background, or the bustle of the BDL 3D team post processing the overnight builds with our DyeMansion post processing equipment. The BDL Copiers warehouse team are receipting in stock and processing orders, with a steady stream of couriers in and out the door. It’s a busy and productive place and the perfect antidote for the mood after reading the morning news!! Team BDL Copiers, you guys rock. #aotearoanz #localbusiness #hpprinters #hp3dprinting

It’s been a privilege to represent BDL Copiers in Seoul, South Korea this week as part of the HP Greater Asia Indirect Managed Print Services Council. Visiting the HP Reasearch & Development Centre for Managed A3 Products was an absolute highlight and seeing first hand the attention to detail of product development and the rigourous testing that goes into the HP products we sell reinforces why HP is a market leader in the industry. Thanks so much to Lena Tan, Eduard Garcia Azofra, Kasey Kim, Xavier Fernandez Taberner, Satish Kumar and all of the HP Greater Asia Team for hosting such a great event. Together we win! #localbusiness #NZ #chc #smartcities #HP

BDL Copiers won a spot on the Greater Asia Print Partner Incentive Trip with HP, for meeting the previous year's sales targets. Daryl Hancox, National Sales Manager for BDL Copiers represented the team on this wonderful trip to Ljubljana, Slovenia. The event was hosted to celebrate the achievements of Print Partners in the region, in usual HP style. Thanks to the whole BDL Copiers team, Field Technicians, Admin Team, Wareouse Team, Sales Team. You are all amazing, and we would not be able to reach these goals without each and every one of you. Thank you for your ongoing loyalty, support and good humour through yet another challenging year!
