Adam Poole, B2B Marketing Director at Canon UK, said, "We're delighted to be opening this new facility. At Canon we are committed to working collaboratively with our customers, helping them to realise, understand and exploit the opportunities available in print. The Centre will play a key part in our offering and enable us to demonstrate the possibilities and how best to evolve and grow their business."

However, print is now more powerful than ever before and The Centre will help provide support and expertise. We look forward to welcoming new and existing customers and partners to this fantastic venue."
