Vision, the Managed Printing Solutions and Managed Document Specialists scored a “Hat-Trick” in Public Sector with the award of 3 major frameworks including: the National Education Printer Agreement NEPA, Crown Commercial Service CCS incorporating Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation YPO, Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation ESPO and Crescent Purchasing Consortium CPC. The wins and success come off the back of Vision’s continued investment and development of its Public Sector team, offering and routes to market.
