Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has announced its forthcoming appearance at the Schools & Academies Show, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on 18th–19th November 2026. To support headteachers, school business managers, and Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) leaders facing sustained financial pressures, Konica Minolta will unveil an exclusive stand offer: schools placing an order for an A3 multifunction device at the event will receive a complimentary A4 printer.
Unmanaged printing and reprographics represent one of the largest non-staff operational expenditures in UK primary and secondary education. According to official Department for Education (DfE) school procurement guidance, schools and trusts can save over 40% on printer, photocopier, and scanning costs by standardising fleets, leveraging approved buying frameworks, and eliminating fragmented, unmanaged desktop contracts.
With academy trusts and schools navigating funding constraints and rising utility and operational overheads, eliminating waste across everyday print delivers immediate, measurable bottom-line savings. By combining secure cloud-ready print management and its energy-efficient bizhub multifunctional print devices, Konica Minolta helps institutions cut print waste by up to 30% while reducing the carbon footprint.
