Quotations

Sales and Marketing Director of UK POS, Debra Jamieson explained: “Customer loyalty that lasts 20 years and has no signs of ending is definitely a rare find in our industry. We’re proud that our working relationship is as strong as it was back in 1989 even as both businesses have been passed down a generation. It’s wonderful to know that our fathers conducted business with such mutual respect and that continues a second generation on.”

Jonathan Twist at Gee Tee’s commented: “Dealing with big brands that supply to multi-national makes you all the more appreciative for suppliers like UK POS, who, no matter what the size of the company will offer a friendly and reliable service. That personal touch shines through from start to finish and the team is always willing to suggest ideas and products to suit our needs, even visiting our stores to see what’s what. Additionally in such a competitive industry, UK POS ensures its products remain value for money and competitive. That’s why Gee Tee’s sticks with UK POS and long may it continue for at least another 20 years.”
