An Essex office machinery firm has announced a rebrand.

Witham-based Essex Business Machines(EBM Ltd) has changed its name to EBM Managed Services (EBM), to underline its new identity as an independent supplier of print and IT managed services.

The firm’s managing director, Mark Bailey, said the move followed the business’s recent partnership with IT 4 Offices, which enabled it to expand into managed IT solutions.

“The business has been growing and evolving rapidly over the last few years,” he said. “We felt the time was right to refresh our brand in order to better reflect the services we now offer.”

The firm, which was launched more than 12 years ago, has been a leading supplier of printers thanks to its accreditations with major manufacturers, including Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Lexmark, Epson and UTAX. It now offers a special guarantee on service.
