Announced this week, Xerox said the deal for the Uxbridge-based business will enable it to “further vertically integrate, continue to strengthen its presence in the UK, and provide continuity to Advanced UK’s customer base”.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

As well as its core workplace offering, Advanced UK supplies a raft of digital production printers and software from the likes of Xerox and EFI.

Kevin Paterson, head of Xerox business solutions and small and medium businesses at Xerox UK, said: “With its impressive capabilities and heritage in production print, Advanced UK already has a strong local client base.

“We look forward to bringing the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of services to an exciting new set of Xerox customers.”

Advanced UK sales director Joe Gallagher added: “We are thrilled to join the Xerox team and expand our client offering through Xerox’s Print and IT Services.

“As a longstanding Xerox Platinum partner, we knew that Xerox was the perfect fit to take the business forward and drive differentiated growth opportunities.”

Advanced UK is participating in the P.A.C.E. event that is taking place on 25 January at the Xerox Innovation Centre near Uxbridge, in conjunction with PrintIQ, Duplo, Infigo, and Xerox.
