A BUSINESS systems company which counts Bury FC among its customers is celebrating an important corporate "goal".

Unique Business Systems, which has locations in Bury, Manchester and Essex, has been appointed by Toshiba TEC UK Imaging Systems as its authorised reseller.

Established more than seven years ago, Unique supplies a comprehensive portfolio of products from computer and IT systems to copiers, multi-site telephone networks and fax systems.

Bury-based Steve Hibbert, sales director of Unique Business Systems, which employs a 30-strong staff, said: "Teaming up with Toshiba is the best way to ensure our continued growth and development."

Keith Hanks, marketing manager of Toshiba TEC UK Imaging Systems, is convinced that Unique is exactly the sort of progressive, forward-looking partner his company needs.

"The day of the 'bog standard' photocopier is over. Products are now digital, multi-functional, network peripheral devices," he stressed.

"Resellers who do not recognise that and structure their companies accordingly with a commitment to training and customer support will not prosper.

"Unique Business Systems has made that commitment and together we can ensure continuing growth."
