Maidstone office equipment firm relocates following ongoing expansion

An expanding provider of cost-cutting office equipment and services has announced plans to relocate its Kent headquarters after outgrowing current premises.

Blackbox Solutions, which provides a wide range of copy, print, scan and IT hardware/software and support, is moving from Medway City Estate to The Old Printworks, in the heart of Maidstone town centre.

The new offices will provide a base for all of Blackbox Solutions’ Kent-based sales, servicing and client support staff, as well as a drop-in print, scan and copying service. The offices are undergoing a major re-fit and are expected to be completed by December.

Colin Griffin, managing director of Blackbox Solutions, said: “We are thrilled to be moving our headquarters to Maidstone, a move that gives us a thriving local economy, skilled workforce and strong strategic location, all of which will help us to expand the business.

“When we started Blackbox Solutions three years ago we were certain that businesses would recognise the various benefits of our offer, which provides them with the most cost effective and efficient copying/print and IT solutions for their needs.

“By delivering on this promise, and backing it up with reliable and responsive support services, we’ve experienced in excess of 100 per cent growth every year. We now have a client-base of 170 businesses across the South East – built largely thanks to word-of-mouth from satisfied customers with 85 per cent coming through referrals – and demand continues to grow.

“With our new Maidstone office we’re now well-placed to meet this demand. All 16 members of our Rochester-based staff are coming with us and we will be looking to recruit additional staff in Maidstone.”
