Meet Andy and Paul; they work in Esker’s UK Print Centre. In 2021 they processed 4 million pages for Esker customers.

Andy Phillips: Andy started at Esker in 2006, looking after Host Access Legacy solutions and Fax Renewals. In 2009, the UK Print Centre was set up, and Andy and a team of 3 other Esker staff would manage the Print Centre work for half a day, or two half days each per week.
Over the last decade, the Print Centre has developed, and its output has grown significantly. Andy has provided cover to the Print Centre throughout this time, and then since 2019, he has been working in the role of Print Centre Operations Manager.

Paul Kerry: Paul has worked in Esker’s UK Print Centre as a Mail Centre Operator since 2011. He initially worked part-time, but as the Print Centre has grown, has become full-time.

Most traditional things end up having a modern twist. Take the gold wedding ring and its tattoo version, the hug at the airport versus the Skype call, the glossy birthday card in your hand versus the email or text message. We like both, it’s nice to have a choice.
