We published this one earlier in the month, and it's worth a read. Most businesses can't tell you precisely what their printing is costing them - by department, site or by job. It's not unusual, but it is fixable, and the difference it makes to how you manage costs and make decisions is significant. If you missed it earlier this week, then grab a cuppa and give it a read! parallel-group.co.uk/2026/06…

The World Cup is here! There's something brilliant about a tournament that brings the whole world together, and we have a feeling this one is going to be a good one. Good luck to all the teams representing their countries. We can't wait to see what is in store!

Winning Business Services of the Year at the Hillingdon Business Awards is something we'll always be proud of. But if we are honest, what excites us most isn't where we've been, it's where we are going. More businesses in Hillingdon are thinking seriously about how they work, how to make things more efficient, and how to grow without everything getting more complicated. That's exactly what we are here for, and we are just getting started!

Our latest blog is out now! If you have ever looked at your print costs and thought, 'I'm not quite sure what we're actually spending, this one is for you! We have written about why so many businesses don't have proper visibility over their print setup, what that's actually costing them, and where to start if you want to change it:- parallel-group.co.uk/2026/06…

Friday was an incredible day at the Hillingdon Business Expo! Our team was in full force at stand 125, and we had the opportunity to connect with so many fantastic local businesses. Throughout the day, we had engaging conversations about print and document challenges, digital transformation journeys, and how Parallel can help businesses optimise their processes - your interest and enthusiasm mean the world to us! We are excited to continue these conversations and to work with you to make your business operations even better - here's to the vibrant Hillingdon business community. We are proud to be a part of it! #HBE2026

Behind the scenes at the Hillingdon Business Expo! Our team is hard at work setting up stand 125, ready for a day of great conversations and connections tomorrow.

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.

For many businesses, sustainability feels like another item on an already long list. Another policy to write, another commitment to track and another thing to report on. PrintReleaf takes at least one piece of that off your plate. Your paper consumption through Parallel is automatically offset with certified reforestation, verified impact and no extra admin on your end. Sometimes doing the right thing really is that straightforward.

This Friday, the Parallel team will be at the Hillingdon Business Expo at ARC Uxbridge. If you're planning to come, we're on stand 125, and we'd love to have a chat, whether you are curious about managed print, document workflows, or just want to connect with a local business that genuinely cares about this community. If you haven't registered yet, you can do so at the link below:- eventbrite.co.uk/e/hillingdo… #HBE2026

A lot of businesses want to support good causes, but finding the time and the mechanism to do it consistently is another matter. Click Print Donate makes it simple. Choose your charity, print as normal, and we'll ensure a percentage of your spend goes where it matters to you. It won't change how you work, but it might just change how you feel about it.

What a weekend for the Parallel team! Gavin and Paul were lucky enough to be invited to the British Touring Car Championship by the brilliant Aron Taylor-Smith, and by all accounts, it was quite a day. A huge thank you to Aron for the invitation. 🙌

As our business grows, so do the forests around the world! Since joining the PrintReleaf programme, our customers have offset 54.3M printed pages into 6,527 trees in forests worldwide - isn't that incredible? 🌲🌲 #reforesting #sustainability

Growing businesses have a particular challenge. The systems that got you to 10 people don't always scale to 30. What worked when everyone sat in the same room gets complicated when you've got multiple sites, remote teams, or a busier finance function. We work alongside businesses going through exactly that transition, helping them get their processes in order so growth doesn't mean chaos. parallel-group.co.uk

When a business grows quickly across multiple sites, the print setup often fails to keep pace. Gama Aviation had nine UK locations and a tangle of print contracts to match. Costs were impossible to track, departments couldn't be billed accurately, and everything was falling on the IT budget by default. We brought it all under one contract, one fleet, and one clear view of spend, all managed through software, so every department's printing was accounted for properly. The result was 40% saved on lease costs and an estimated further 40% on service costs. And an IT team freed up to focus on what actually matters. parallel-group.co.uk/2023/06…

On the 5th June, we will be at the Hillingdon Business Expo at ARC Uxbridge, and we would love the chance to have a proper conversation. Whether you are interested in learning more about managed print or document workflows, or just want to understand how businesses like yours are saving time and money on their print setup, we'd love for you to come and find us on stand 125.

Going paperless isn't the goal. The goal is a business that runs efficiently. Sometimes that means less paper; sometimes, it means smarter printing. Often it means both. We start by understanding how your business actually works, then we identify what needs to change, not the other way around. parallel-group.co.uk/2026/05…

We are exhibiting at the Hillingdon Business Expo on 5th June at ARC Uxbridge, and we'd love to see you there! If you are a business owner or decision maker in the area, this is one of the best opportunities of the year to connect with the local business community in one place. Register as a visitor using our link below and come and find us on stand 125.  eventbrite.co.uk/e/198447431… #HBE2026 #hillingdonbusiness
