So what about us?

We are a diverse bunch here at Selectec, but some things are universal. We all share a strong work ethic and enthusiasm for good customer service. We have big ambitions for our company and are committed to working hard for our partners.

Selectec was founded by two friends with different expertise who had an idea or two about changing the world of copying. They were soon up and running out of a garden shed and a third bedroom. Since then, the company has grown significantly. 40 years on and we have outgrown four different offices and the shed is just used to store a lawnmower but we’ve held on to the energy, spirit and our core values: be honest, listen to our resellers and always do the right thing. That’s how we want to be known. To achieve this, we have a team of dedicated sales, support and admin staff promoting innovative software across the globe, backed up by a team of talented developers who can add further value by providing integrations or bespoke solutions to match customers’ requirements, often exceeding their expectations.

So, sit back, relax and allow us to introduce some of the people who make up the rock star team.

  • Paul Weston
    Group CEO

    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. When asked about what he got up to in his spare time he looked surprised and simply replied, “Spare time?”

    • Stephen Hart
      Managing Director

      Stephen – Managing Director

      As MD at Selectec, Stephen (AKA Big Ted) is the heart of the sales team. Addicted to lossless music and his guitars, he loves all things techy. Stephen lives in his own Gulliver’s Travels world and is often caught off guard when he bumps into someone else way over 6ft 5ins.

      He can use his solutions experience to engage with partners at multiple levels. Stephen has spent many years in the industry, most recently spending five years working for a large independent Office Equipment Supplier in charge of the Software Solutions team. He has extensive management experience, IT Solutions Sales experience and document management knowledge.

      A solutions focused individual, Stephen has many years’ experience of working in technical, sales and channel roles in the IT and MFP sector. Internally he is the main conduit between our sales and development teams, very much like Field of Dreams – he tells them what he wants and they build it. Professionally, Stephen has more qualifications than the rest of the team put together and is a veteran PaperCut installer. Stephen is the driving force of all sales and marketing decisions and his results speak for themselves.

      These days he is often involved in chats with major partners and suppliers. Stephen is no stranger to speaking at public events and can often be found at popular shows like BETT spreading the good word.

      Stephen has over 25 years experience in sales and channel management within the IT and copier industry and once owned and ran an old people’s home. His other hobbies include playing guitar, motorcycling and he once walked on hot coals just for fun! Worryingly he can often be overheard quoting Homer Simpson and Tommy Cooper in his team talks. Lover of tech, music, food, stripey shirts, dogs, Kite buggying good times and good drinks. Livin’ the dream!

        Ben – Sales Director

        Ben McKean manages our super-charged channel management team here at Selectec. With the boundless energy of The Flash and a can-do attitude, Ben works tirelessly for our channel.

        His role as Sales Director for Selectec allows him to utilise his experience to support dealers, manufacturers and distributors, demonstrating to these partners how the use of the solutions in our portfolio will enable their customers to improve their workflow and reduce their print and copy output. These solutions are not only cost effective and user-friendly but are also easy to sell, install and support.Ben adds enormous value to the company and, showing his caring side, puts his skill set to good use at regular charity events. When Ben isn’t building relationships or improving product knowledge, he

        enjoys spending time with his family. He is passionate about the Marvel Universe (or as I am sure he will say Multiverse) and has a love for all things on four wheels that go very fast and are preferably driven by Vin Diesel. Ben enjoys (slowly) fixing his house up and partaking in the occasional KFC.

          Max is the latest addition to the already sterling channel management team at Selectec. His experience and knowledge will be priceless in giving our channel partners the dedicated support and enthusiasm that they already receive from the Selectec team.

          Spending over a decade in the print solutions marketspace, his unparalleled product knowledge is only bested by his eagerness and willingness to take on new and exciting challenges. Don’t worry about calling ghostbusters, as Max will be the guy you need to implement all of your end customer needs.

          In his spare time he is a font of movie trivia and shares a huge love of the Marvel and DC universes with his brother. Don’t believe us? Just put his knowledge to the test and pose a comic related question. Movie quotes are a speciality and he is eager to share this knowledge and comedic form with his beautiful young daughter. A proud dad and a dedicated friend and brother makes him an incredibly valuable asset to the Selectec team.

            As Business Development Manager Lee loves nothing better than enhancing relationships with our clients to benefit their every need. If he can have his “80’s / 90’s Epic Songs” Spotify playlist on at the same time then everyone wins.  Lee joined Selectec in 2018 and his previous sales and print industry experience bring a welcome mix to our forward-thinking team.

            With his Mediterranean tan and boyish charm (his words, not ours…) Lee can quite often be found cracking jokes and quickly becomes a crowd pleaser, especially if a cold beer is in hand! His positive, tenacious character certainly helps lift the dreariest of days and set up the ‘can do’ approach we all know and love.  Need a holiday destination or sunglasses recommendation? Lee is your man…When asked what his immediate work strategy was he replied – WORLD DOMINATION AWAITS! *fade to dramatic music*…

          Sian – Head of Channel Operations

          Veteran M25 warrior and karaoke queen, Sian Thurston has an unmatched enthusiasm for making everything better. You will like her, your profit margin will love her. Sian brings passion and experience for account management to a new level. Sian joined the team in 2015. With many years’ experience in account management, distribution and print, Sian ticks all the boxes and is a vital part of our channel team. This means that she is on the phone more often than any sane person should ever be.

          Sian spends her time fueling channel demand and maximising awareness of our product range through partnership and interaction. 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. She also makes a pretty good bucking bronco rider, if you’re into that sort of thing—and let’s be honest, who isn’t?

            Marketing Manager

            Claire – Marketing Manager

            Claire has been working with B2B’s for the best part of a decade now, having plenty of experience mucking in with most aspects of marketing. No task is too big (or small) for her, and there’s nothing she won’t give her best shot! This has meant that she has a broad range of experience in marketing including web design, brand identity, lead nurture campaigns, copywriting, as well as lots of design (which is still her favourite part of the job!).

            Claire joined Selectec after being recommended to them by the folks at Foldr, where she built their Brand Identity for them as you see it in its current iteration. She has an unhealthy interest in colour correction, textures, and atmosphere.

            Outside of work, Claire can be seen chasing her unruly dog around the house, or starting a never-ending stream of home improvements that are always more than she can handle! She also enjoys an adventure in the form of travel (read: holiday… who doesn’t?!), especially the food and weather which accompanies these travels.

        Operations Director

        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. When not thinking about gladiators, Ross likes a good book such as The Name of the Wind, The First Law Trilogy, The Stormlight Archive and the Saga of Pliocene Exile. He is currently saving his vastly over inflated wages for a Ford Mustang (in yellow) but deep down accepts he will never fit all his kids in it.

          He’s skilled in all areas of Print Management and Document Solutions (which comes in handy in our line of work!). Rob has substantial experience in print/document software solutions and expertise in a wide variety of OEM hardware to help businesses bridge the gap between these two disciplines.

          When he’s not occupied by his work at Selectec, Rob has five teenage boys who keep him more than a little busy!Rob enjoys watching his son play for his local football team, and you’ll often see him shouting from the sideline. He also enjoys cycling when he has the time and is a little fan of red wine! (just a little… ;-))

            In between thinking about her next sun soaked holiday and forcing us all to eat healthily, Michelle is often the first port of call for a lot of our partners. After working in the advertising industry for many years, Michelle then moved into the world of photocopiers and printers away from the Big Smoke, events and presentations so she could juggle a career with being a busy mum of two mischievous young ladies.

            When the opportunity of working for Selectec arose, she jumped on board full of enthusiasm and hunger to learn more about our portfolio of products. She prides herself on attention to detail and being involved with customers and account management in the past, offers a friendly efficient approach to our resellers to build solid working relationships.Michelle processes the orders and quotes for software and hardware and is here to take your calls for any queries you may have – if she can’t help you, she will know just who will and transfer your call for a swift response.

            When not working she can often be found playing taxi to her dancing daughters, driving them from one class or another. We tease her that she is living her dreams through her kids – which she is yet to deny!

              With more experience fixing “stuff” than you can shake a stick at, Paul brings his calm and friendly Welsh demeanour to full effect when helping our network of resellers. Paul is passionate about his job and while everyone else is running around at 100 miles per hour, he stays calm and considered while he finds the solution. He is the Selectec McGuyver. Paul is responsible for keeping a number of back-end systems functional. He does the big and little things you will and won’t notice.

              Before he joined the team in 2014, he was employed as a Network Manager (or general dogsbody as he calls it) at a large school in Wales. Part of his legacy at the school was the introduction of PaperCut and that was when he fell in love with the product. The only thing he misses is the food 🙂.

              In his spare time, Paul enjoys socialising with his friends (drinking & eating) as well as travelling. In his time at the company he has been to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Miami, New York and sunny Brean, where he has a “Luxury Lodge”. The worst part of it is, he travels first class and sends us all the pictures…

                Mat – Pro Services / Support

                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.

            Nick – Pre-Sales & Support

            Nick is addicted to making his home network faster and doing things right. Nick has over 13 years experience in the industry and uses his knowledge and methodical troubleshooting powers to assist our customers. He is full of technical know-how and is the in-house go-to guy when computer ‘stuff’ involves more than turning it off and on again.

            Nick is one of our longest serving tech warriors and, when not in the trenches, he handles our technical training courses for the reseller channel. Nick has a strong external hardware background and spent the first eight years of his career connecting all manner of boxes to the back of photocopiers. Nick can turn his hand to any technology and is equally at home rooting his latest Android device or working on a four-node Microsoft cluster. In short, he loves to tinker with technology and while it often breaks he enjoys the challenge of trying to fix it again afterwards. This makes him perfect for pro-services and support.

            For R&R Nick enjoys motorsport (#GOLEWIS) and spending valuable time with his young family. He also partakes in the regular inter-company battle between our Android and Apple fans. If you needed to know the answer, Android wins 😉 When he is not taking things apart, Nick is also deeply in love with pizza, tinted glasses and Custom ROMs, in no particular order.

              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!

        Damian – CTO

        Damian landed by accident in the MPS and document management industry more than two dec A sufferer of horrible honesty Damian is a regular public speaker and has been lucky(?) enough to present at conferences across Europe as well as using his skills to train others in the art of presentation and public speaking.

        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

          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 – 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.

        When Katie’s not battling baddies beside Disney character’s in Kingdom Hearts she’ll be found tackling her workload in Selectec’s accounts department. Katie’s positive can-do attitude is infectious amongst the team. A keen learner, she likes to stuff her mind with accounting qualifications… and her favourite anime. She misses nothing with her good attention to detail and is organised with her many workloads.

        Day-to-day Katie’s works on sales/purchase ledgers and banking and maintains up to date reports and reconciliations on a monthly basis to help her Finance Manager deliver correct monthly accounts.

        Katie is AAT Level 3 qualified and is studying for her Level 4 this year. One day she hopes to complete her ACCA, that’s if we ever let her away from her desk!

        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.
