Great news. We’ve completed the rollout of a managed print service for Busy Bees Nurseries Limited, the UK’s largest early years provider.
Our role saw us deliver a nationwide installation of Epson heat-free printer hardware, backed with ongoing servicing and maintenance across Busy Bees nurseries in the UK. The contract also includes the provision of consumables, on-site technical support, and service across all sites.
The contract forms part of Busy Bees’ commitment to streamline operational efficiency through a balanced provision of physical and digital document solutions. Evolve was awarded the contract following a long-term working relationship with Busy Bees and a documented record of responsive service delivery.
Daniel Maddox, Managing Director at Evolve Document Solutions, said: “We’ve worked with Busy Bees for over 20 years, but this new agreement elevates our partnership. It shows they trust us to deliver the right mix of tech, service and support, and we were proud to roll it out at scale.”
Founded in 1983, Busy Bees is the UK’s largest early years provider and prides itself on delivering exceptional early years education that gives children the best start in life.
Across the UK and Ireland, the company cares for more than 40,000 children and employs over 10,000 people. Globally, Busy Bees Group cares for over 75,000 children across more than 1,000 centres in 10 countries.
The company’s curriculum-led, early-years approach places operational reliability as a core priority, especially in areas like print and document management that support day-to-day nursery administration.
Evolve Document Solutions, operating from its Lancashire headquarters, supplies managed print services to sectors including education, healthcare, and small to medium-sized enterprises. Its service offering includes hardware from Konica Minolta and Epson, paired with its proprietary Agility software.
Dave Garton, Applications and Service Manager at Busy Bees, said: “Running hundreds of nurseries across the UK means we need suppliers we can rely on. Evolve’s team understands our requirements and addresses our needs promptly. That makes a big difference on the ground – we can trust Evolve to ensure all our printing, scanning and copier needs are met, allowing us to concentrate on the bigger picture.”
The national rollout was delivered over a 16-week period and included installation, the removal of the existing devices and employee training.
