Espria supports charity with their environmental vision
Our client, a growing charitable organisation, had been let down by their print service provider. Based in London, with around 50 staff, they faced daily challenges with poor printing practices leading to growing costs and wasteful use of resources.
The charity wanted to deliver sustainable solutions to their clients and their wider community and be seen to be following best practice in their workspaces. The charity needed to be compliant with industry regulations, including GDPR, whilst being as cost efficient as possible, to better support their charitable endeavours. Espria conducted a comprehensive and consultative review of the charity’s document solution to identify areas for improvement and gain much needed flexibility and scalability to support future growth. The challenges included:
- Uncollected, wasted prints
- Poor printing habits such as single sided colour documents for internal use
- Old and out-dated equipment
- Inflexible lease agreement.
Espria offered their Managed Print Suite which not only addressed the above challenges but also gave the customer peace of mind that we had understood their business and were the right partner for the future.
- A ‘find me’ print solution meant that print jobs were released on demand at the device with uncollected jobs deleted at the end of each day reducing print volumes by 10%. In addition, no personal data was at risk of compromise when left on the catch tray, supporting GDPR
- A rules based printing pop-up gave users appropriate reminders such as “consider printing this document duplex and save 50% paper” or “it costs 10 times less to print in b/w, does this document need to be colour?” This helped the users to make better choices and learn how to be less wasteful
- The new equipment supplied had the lowest TEC (Total Energy Consumption) saving the charity money on rising energy and resource bills. The new equipment was also more reliable, requiring fewer on-site maintenance visits thus reducing parts and travel costs.
- The unique Espria ‘Simple Agreement’ provides flexibility as there is no up-front capital outlay nor fixed term third-party leasing which allows Espria to vary offering during the contract period to support future business growth.

Beyond Copilots: Why AI Agents Are the Next Competitive Advantage
AI is no longer a tactical tool, it’s becoming the engine of enterprise transformation. While copilots and other generative AI tools have helped teams work faster, the real breakthrough is happening with AI agents: autonomous systems that don’t just assist but act, learn and orchestrate entire workflows across the business. The question every executive should be asking is: “How will we harness AI to create value at scale before our competitors do?” High-performing organisations aren’t waiting. They’re embedding AI agents into daily operations and seeing measurable impact; accelerated decision-making, leaner processes and stronger financial outcomes. When markets move at digital speed, standing still means falling behind. Here’s why: So, the question isn’t “Should we adopt AI?”, it’s “What could…
Zero Trust Networking
Protecting Employees Without Friction Your workforce is your greatest asset, and your greatest vulnerability. Attackers know this, which is why phishing and credential theft remain the most common entry points. But here’s the leadership challenge: how do you protect employees without slowing them down? Zero Trust answers that question by making security invisible yet uncompromising. Employees work from anywhere, home, client sites, airports, without clunky VPNs or endless password resets. Behind the scenes, every login is verified, every device assessed, every anomaly flagged. If something looks wrong, a compromised credential, an unusual location, the system reacts…
Shadow AI: Executive Briefing on Real Risks, Business Impact and Mitigation
Shadow AI is here, and it’s growing Shadow AI is the use of artificial intelligence tools and platforms outside the oversight of IT, security, or compliance teams. This is not a hypothetical concern. KPMG’s 2025 global survey found that up to 58% of employees are using AI productivity tools daily, and nearly half admit to uploading sensitive company information to unauthorised platforms. Only 41% of employees say their organisation has a policy guiding the use of generative AI, revealing a significant governance gap. The Risks Are Real and Substantial The evidence from leading analysts and recent incidents is clear:…

Is Your MSP Really Helping You Grow — Or Just Keeping the Lights On?
There’s a moment in every business where the question quietly surfaces: “Are we getting what we really need from our IT provider?” It’s not always easy to answer. On the surface, things seem fine. Tickets are resolved. Reports arrive. There’s someone to call when things go wrong. It’s familiar. It’s comfortable. And that comfort can be deceiving. Because beneath the surface, many organisations are stuck in a service relationship that feels safe — but is actually stagnant. And here’s the truth: comfort isn’t the same as progress. For many, the idea of changing MSPs or challenging the…
