What about us?

At Selectec, we’re a diverse crew with a singular mission. We’re fueled by a relentless work ethic, a genuine obsession with customer service, and the big-picture ambition to see our partners thrive. We don't just work hard, we’re committed to working together.

Selectec’s story didn’t start in a boardroom; it started with two friends, a few bold ideas about disrupting the copying world, in a very crowded garden shed.

What began as a “third-bedroom” operation has spent the last 40 years evolving into a global force. We’ve traded the shed for four successive headquarters (though the lawnmower still claims the original workspace), but our DNA remains unchanged. We’re still fueled by that same day-one energy and a simple, unshakable code: stay honest, listen to our resellers, and always do the right thing.

How we make it happen, we don’t just sell software; we bridge the gap between “standard” and “spectacular.”

The Front Line: A world-class team of sales, support, and admin experts promoting innovation across the globe.
The Architects: A powerhouse dev team creating the integrations and bespoke solutions that turn “it can’t be done” into “here’s how we did it.”
The Goal: Not just to meet requirements, but to consistently exceed them.

We’re proud of where we came from, but we’re even prouder of the people who got us here. So, sit back, relax, and meet the “rock stars” behind the Selectec name.

Paul – Group CEO For his sins, Paul is the CEO and co-founder of Selectec. He has kept the company going for over 30 years (ignoring comments about more luck than judgement) and is still confident and excited about the future. Paul is the Oracle of Selectec. He brings insight, direction and vision to the company to ensure we stay on message. As the CEO, Paul holistically moulds the business to ensure that both our customer base and employees are satisfied. He initiates, develops and maintains strategic partnerships that allow us to remain both innovative and reactive to market trends. He has been passionate from the start about Selectec (a useful asset for a co-founder!). Having worked in both accounting and sales & marketing in his past, Paul understands how to create good solutions that also work commercially for our channel. As a person who naturally enjoys communicating, Paul can discuss your requirements and offer constructive ideas that will benefit you as a business. When he is not talking about Selectec, he can be heard philosophising about Southampton FC and their eternal quest for silverware #Optimist. Paul is also kind enough to explain Cricket and Tax Codes to the rest of the staff as and when needed.

The evolving nature of brands and products mean constant engagement with the channel. Due to the connected world we live in, this means that there are multiple methods to get the message across. An important part of Sian’s role is to understand the relationships between the various channels and how (if at all) they impact on consumer behaviour, along with understanding the wider events that help drive trends and consumer interest. This is where a crystal ball comes in handy! Sian is committed to understanding, engaging with and building relationships with the channel to build brand value and customer loyalty. In her downtime, you can find Sian making her daughter laugh and enjoying the local nature walks, especially on the beach catching crabs. She may not look like it but she is an award winning Karaoke singer, so ask her for a few tunes next time you talk. She is overly attached to beef flavour Monster Munch and has a strong allergy to hire cars.

Ross – Operations Director The title of the job role speaks for itself. Ross runs around putting out fires and exhorting the rest of the team to “move faster”. He is often accused of sticking his nose where it is not wanted… To use a sporting analogy, Ross is an all-rounder (he would probably choose multi-talented) whose role varies widely according to the state of play. Having joined the company 15+ years ago to do the jobs that no-one else really wanted, he has cleverly made himself indispensable. His key roles include running the company’s IT infrastructure and heading up the support to match. He also considers it vital to bombard the CEO with inspirational (he believes) ideas for taking the company forward, often supported by video clips from The West Wing. The day that Ross does not appear on our internal company social media platforms will probably be the day that we hear the hooves of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! During the very few hours of the day that he does not devote to the company, Ross attempts to parent his 3 ‘tiny humans’ to give his wife some free time to, among other things, bake a high-quality banana cake for the MD.

Andy – Product and Professional Services Specialist What can we say about Andy? He is a dedicated professional with a solid all-round IT/Technical Pre-sales background. None of that helps him when has to put up with those of us based in the South of the country asking him about his whippets and black pudding. When not racing pigeons (sorry Andy!). Andy is busy meeting partners and discussing new and exciting developments within our products. Andy is not afraid to get his hands dirty and has a great “can-do” attitude to – installs, Pre-sales presentations, tender assistance, specification help we and our partners know we can throw anything at Andy and he will make it so. With over 15 years in the print and copy industry, Andy has done it all and that perspective from the other side of the reseller fence is vital to us. Andy can sell, install, support and promote products and we love his enthusiasm, keep going, buddy! Try not to hold it against him but he supports Oldham Athletic A.F.C, we don’t know why – we never asked. We just assume they were good when he was growing up as that is how you pick a football team, right? When not cheering on the mighty Latics at Boundary Park he is working on being the best damn father he can to his tribe and slowly trying to get them into 90’s house music, which, as you know is what all the cool people listen to! Our favourite thing (of many) is his love for 80’s comedy classics such as Airplane! and the Naked Gun, don’t call him Shirley!.	My Top Five Daily Go To Website BBC Sport Hero Leslie Nielsen.

Loving nothing better than a great pitch, Damian truly loves meeting and presenting to customers. His technical background means he loves playing a part in creating the solutions that customers need and finding ways to fill those un-fillable gaps. When he’s not getting over excited about ECM software Damian can be found plummeting down, jumping off or generally hanging around mountains or trying to tame the unruly band of fellow Gingers that make up his madcap family.

Scott Malyon

Developer


Scott – Integrations / Development The standard hiring process for Selectec used to be the Technical Director looking around for whichever of his children was old enough and not looking busy. This happened to Scott in 1989 and resulted in a couple of years spent building book copiers. After that, he decided to see what the rest of the job world looked like. Scott was not too impressed with what he found and when one day the CEO took pity and made him an offer he returned for an “interview” about becoming a service engineer. The CEO notes, “It was an odd interview, he didn’t ask about remuneration or duties, he just said, I’m sure you’ll see me right”. That was the last well-defined role Scott had at Selectec; since then he quietly sits in the background doing the things no one else has the time or inclination to do. These days this largely involves understanding products at a deeper level to find how they can be bent to fit the customer’s requirements. He never set out to be a developer and would not consider himself one, but as with most things in Scott’s life, it needed doing so he just worked it out. Outside of work life, Scott has interests in scepticism and critical thinking (mainly due to liking a good argument), skiing, watching West Wing re-runs and getting into trouble along with his beagle, Darwin. Whilst writing this short biography he discovered Plato had nothing to say on what to do once you have examined your life.

Matt Green

Developer


Matt – Developer Matt G has been a programmer for all of his adult life and has programmed in more languages than there are Heinz varieties.He enjoys all aspects of software development but admits he’s not so great at making things pretty, seemly missing the gene that gives you the ability to craft beautiful designs. However, Matt enjoys the learning aspect of software development as it is constantly changing and likes the challenge of solving a problem through code. In the past, Matt developed software that simulates the conditions of a fighter aircraft to test specific components before they go in the plane, software that writes the best before date on your favourite cereals, and the production database used at Coca Cola in the UK. Matt’s also written mobile apps for iPhones and Android phones and is wizard-level when it comes to Excel spreadsheets. Matt likes to dabble in all things tech when not working, especially mobile phones. He once drove all the way to Germany to get the latest Nokia phone (yes, it was a while ago) because it wasn’t out in the UK, and he didn’t want to miss out. He also imported the first iPhone from America to have it a couple of weeks early; similarly, he imported one of the first iPads too. Matt loves watching movies in his free time, and his favourite sport is Formula 1.	My Top Five Daily Go To Website X (Twitter). Hero Ironman.

Kate – Partner Liaison & Credit Controller Weekend dance machine and cake enthusiast, Kate keeps an eye on the purse strings here at Selectec! She keeps a watchful eye on expenses and invoices and keeps the sales team in line. She can often be found worrying about that unexplained 0.10p on an invoice and spends far too much time thinking about food! Kate is the Assistant to the Managing Director. She looks after various back-office tasks. She will try her hand at anything and attempts to keep the MD from working from dawn until dusk. She comes from a PA, Finance and HR background (and was probably a baker in a past life) and, along with plenty of experience, she has brought with her bucket-loads of enthusiasm, sunshine and people skills. She loves technology and enjoys keeping up-to-date with the latest gadgets. Kate and her family live in sunny Devon where, in her spare time, she keeps busy with ballet and dance classes for both her and her daughter. All this cavorting around works in perfect symbiotic harmony with her huge appreciation for chocolate, film and TV or putting her feet up with a good book. Kate feels strongly for the word “whom,” appropriate apostrophes, and the Oxford comma.	My Top Five Daily Go To Website eBay Hero I honestly don’t think I have one Special Talent Dancing.
